PARTNERSHIP
UEA has a representative on the Out There Arts Board of Trustees. We are also developing a range of collaborative projects that offer research, education, professional and civic engagement opportunities for staff of both organisations, students and graduates.
The Ice House is a Grade II listed building In Great Yarmouth that Out There Arts are transforming into a National Centre for Outdoor Arts and Circus. In February and March 2023, UEA’s Civic University team collaborated on a series of Open Space Events to gauge public opinion on what The Ice House could mean for communities in Great Yarmouth and the wider region.
