The Institute of East Anglian Artists Open Exhibition is held annually at The Gallery, Holt, North Norfolk, and is open for submissions by any artist within East Anglia.
The IEA represents the best emerging and established artists in the region (IEA region map).
The route to IEA membership is via successful submission to the Open Exhibition on this and subsequent years. We are proud to have a long-standing relationship with The Gallery Holt, whose refurbished contemporary gallery has also hosted exhibitions of work by ROI and RI members.
Thank you to everyone who submitted
The OPEN EXHIBITION ONLINE GALLERY is now LIVE!
