The display, marking the organisation's 207th exhibit, will feature an assortment of new artworks and sculptures.

"The Handa Gallery is a superb venue and a perfect environment to showcase the diverse talents, artistic skills and professionalism of our membership, and a demonstration that the Circle continues to raise the standards of art appreciation and practice in our region."

In celebration of past group member Sir Alfred Munnings, six original works by the renowned artist will be showcased alongside new creations, with a further section displaying creations inspired by 'literature', Munnings' favourite theme.

Jenny Hand, director of Munnings Art Museum, said: “We are always delighted to be working with the Norfolk and Norwich Art Circle.

"The connections between us date back to 1897 when a young Alfred Munnings joined the Circle to exhibit the pictures which were to get him started on a 60-year career."

The exhibition at The Handa Gallery will run from November 6 to November 26, and it is open daily from 11am to 4pm.

The group, boasting more than 200 members, is open to new member applications from a diverse range of artistic experiences.
