  • Comment: I'm approving here shortly but I'm putting on record that this was a lot of slicing and dicing to remove content inappropriate for the encyclopedia. As it stands, I will keep the COI tag on the article. Pbritti (talk) 03:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Delete the Committee section. Notability of alumni does not convey notability to the gallery. And there is a lot of other name dropping. David notMD (talk) 11:49, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is just blatant advertising right down to the opening times. Theroadislong (talk) 12:45, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Outpost gallery, stylised as OUTPOST, was founded in 2004[1] and is an artist-run space based in Norwich showcasing contemporary art. Operating as a not-for-profit entity, OUTPOST is entirely managed by volunteers and governed by a steering committee composed of up to eight local artists and practitioners.[2]

The gallery has hosted over 150 exhibitions featuring artists such as Sadé Mica, Puppies Puppies, Turner Prize nominee Karla Black,[3] Turner Prize winner Elizabeth Price, and Bill Drummond.[4]

Since 2010, OUTPOST has managed a studio complex, known as OUTPOST Studios, at Gildengate House in Anglia Square, formerly the county records office.[5] houses over 80 artist and practitioner studios.[6][7]

History

The founding OUTPOST committee was Kaavous Clayton, Julia Devonshire, Robert Filby, Neil Smallbone, Jay Barsby, Phil Gardner and Stephanie Douet. The name is a reference to a former artist-led space in Norwich named Frontier.[8]

In 2016, OUTPOST applied for and was granted the status of Charitable Incorporated Organisation, trading as Norwich OUTPOST under the title "#FBF696".[9] The charity's name references the yellow HTML colour code #FBF696 that has been used for branding and marketing by the gallery since it's founding.[10]
