This will be the third year that groving, has placed new works by artists on the streets of Bury St Edmunds. The artists' work has been fantastic and it is very stimulating to find interesting and appropriate sites for work and to receive the responses from writers. In 2021  the theme for groving is ​Monument, more artists and writers are participating, and the exhibition will run from 7 - 22 August. In 2020 the theme was Silver Spoon and all of the works, photos in their location and the written responses are posted on the grove blog. 

We are in conversation with several artists who will be grove artists in residence and we hope to continue the exciting programme in September. You can see the work of previous grove artists in ​Projects.

grove is a flexible, supportive opportunity for artists to concentrate on making new work  and test ideas. The purpose is to enable artists to concentrate for a short period on developing or trialing  work, with the use of a large garden, project space and digital equipment. Artists are invited to work with grove and are provided with accommodation, working space, promotion and an event. Hosted artists are not asked to necesssarily complete work or to mount an exhibition. Emerging ideas and proposals for work can be tested and shared with an invited audience in any way appropriate. The project space is particularly suitable for immersive installation, film and sound. Follow grove @grove_projects.

grove is curated by artist and curator Barbara Dougan and situated at 1 Grove Road, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP33 3BE.
