'Spontaneous Communities' is an ambitious engagement programme for Norfolk & Norwich Festival. Five community groups will collaborate through the year with regional artists to research ideas, concerns and questions triggered by the Spontaneous City sculptures at NNF11, then they'll create new work for NNF12. Created by artists London Fieldworks and sited at Eaton Park, Waterloo Park and Cow Tower in Norwich, the sculptures draw on the ecology and biodiversity of their settings.

Drawing Buddies at the Castle Museum Study Centre.
The Drawing Buddies went to Norwich Castle Study Centre. Sadly I couldn't go because I got a horrible bug. I think I really missed out, everyone was delighted with the experience, some members of the group had never been before and didn't know about the resource and they were made to feel very welcome and encouraged to come again as a group or individually. Ruth the curator had arranged for several wildlife objects that might be seen at the city centre sites to be available to draw close up and the group were given a room to themselves. I think the drawings they made are beautiful, full of character and convey just how involved they all were. Everyone is keen to go again and I will be joining them this time!
