Inspiration Trust's Art Specialist Advisor, Heather Denny said: 'The Inspiration Trust works closely with Norfolk & Norwich Festival promoting & supporting arts and culture, as we want pupils to learn about creative knowledge & develop their cultural capital so that they can succeed in life.

 

'Norfolk Open Studios is one of the largest and most successful open studios schemes in the country with 260 studios and schools taking part this year.

 

'The initiative allows the public to come and see the artwork from successful artists in their own studios. We wanted our pupils to be able to showcase their wonderful work and have the experience of curating & exhibiting their work in a professional exhibition. It is a celebration of all the creativity from our Primary, Secondary schools and Sixth Forms across Norfolk and allows us as a trust to commend the creative achievements of all of our pupils.'
