NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK FINE ARTS INSTITUTION
As the Norwich Society of Artists, it opened an exhibition in their room in Sir Benjamin Wrenche's Court on 13 August 1805 and is probably the same as The Norfolk and Suffolk Artists' Society which in May 1829 was voted £100 by the Norwich Common Council 'to assist in enabling them to enlarge their premises in Norwich and to purchase casts and models, with a view to the further promotion of Fine Art in this part of the country. The then named Norfolk and Suffolk Fine Arts Institution held their 25th exhibition in Norwich in 1831 and 'The Norwich, Norfolk, and Suffolk Artists Institution opened their twenty-seventh exhibition at their Room in Exchange Street, Norwich on 7 August 1833, this was to be their last exhibition (Norfolk Chronicle 10 August 1833), however, this has subsequently been revived. It was revived as the Norfolk and Norwich Fine Arts' Association which was incorporated in December 1856 when Claude Lorraine Nursey was hon. secretary and related to the City of Norwich and East Anglian Art Union.
