GroundWork Gallery is dedicated to art and environment. It shows the work of contemporary artists who care about how we see the world. Exhibitions and creative programmes explore how art can enable us to respond to the changing environment and imagine how we can shape its future. “This small contemporary gallery is well run, friendly and has very interesting and tightly curated exhibitions. It is well worth a visit as it has a very modern approach – you will be rewarded with an experience rivalling any high end gallery in the UK.” Trip Advisor comment

The gallery is spacious but modest in size (180 square metres in area), arranged over two floors separated by a stairwell. This semi-domestic context has also turned out to be a brilliant place to show art. It means we can create different atmospheres and experiences as people move around the building.
GroundWork Gallery is dedicated to art and environment. In every sense we are local and global. Firstly, we show contemporary art of global quality . Secondly, we aim to connect contemporary art with global environmental concerns in King’s Lynn. This town, in Norfolk, Eastern England, is a place we really care about. Thirdly, we are also keen to show new work by emerging talents, often by artists who are local. And fourthly, we aim overall to bring a new understanding about the environment globally. Over time, you can expect to see all forms of visual arts: from painting to film, to photography and sculpture, but also, to engage with new environmental and ecological themes.
The Extended Programme Each exhibition aims to develop a new strand of interest in the environment and to stimulate related activity and events. This is timely in an era when we need to be increasingly wary of all kinds of threats from pollution, species loss, deforestation and climate change, and now global pandemics.
We visited Goundwork Gallery and found a wonderful exhibition about waste, intelligently curated with fascinating approaches to an environmental problem, the materials we use and throw away on a daily basis and what becomes of them. Take the trip, you’ll love this gallery, we can’t wait to see the next show. King’s Lynn is stunning too.
