About us
Lowestoft Arts Centre is a not-for-profit co-operative, run on a voluntary basis by and for its membership.

It was set up by Carolyn Reeder in 2000, to encourage and promote the visual arts in the Lowestoft area.
Over the years we have become the focal point for local artists and craftspeople of all abilities, whether amateur or professional, experienced or beginners.
If you are interested in joining us, please see the Membership section below.
The centre also has studio spaces available to hire by individuals and small groups – for arts and craft activities, meetings and tuition.
Gallery and shop
The gallery and shop display a large and varied range of work by our members – all local artists and craftspeople.
You are welcome to call in, have a browse and – if you wish – have a chat to the artist who is the gallery steward that day.
Our opening hours are below.
Wheelchair access is available to the front of the gallery, and stairlift access to the studios.
We look forward to seeing you!

Membership
