Contemporary and Country (C&C) present contemporary and applied art by artists and makers from East Anglia. C&C's Pop-Up exhibitions frequently forego the art gallery setting, opting for architecturally interesting spaces encouraging visitors to engage with original art. The artists and makers C&C work with celebrate their surroundings bringing about a closer consideration for nature, as its appreciation and preservation becomes ever more prescient to our time.
