Open Tuesday to Saturdays from 12-3pm.
Art in the Under Belly is an exhibition, performance, installation space and shop in Norwich. Housed beneath The Rumsey Wells, it offers artists the opportunity to exhibit in an intriguing and unusual environment. Far from being another gallery, the space is a converted cellar packed into intimate surroundings. There are no white walls or large floor spaces, instead the walls and the space retain much of their original character adding to the individuality of the surroundings. Showcasing new works or work previously not exhibited in Norwich, its monthly private views are based not only around the art on show but also a program of live music and DJ's, the aim being to bring another element to the already burgeoning Norwich arts scene.
Our new SHOP launches on Feb 9th with an exhibition and an opening night featuring live music, DJs and a free limited edition giveaway for the first 20 people through the door

Art in the Underbelly, Norwich, UK
As part of Art in the Underbelly’s 2nd birthday celebrations, AITU and Popshot Magazine are joining forces to create an exhibition of poetry and illustrations by artists and poets from around the UK. We’re seeking submissions of poems which will then be used as inspiration for individually created illustrations. The poems will be displayed alongside the illustrations and during the evening of the exhibition, selected poets will perform alongside their images.
As part of the celebrations, we’ll be putting together a limited run of booklets featuring the illustrations and poems. This is an opportunity for poets to see their work realised in a visual form and to have their work presented in an unusual format to new audiences. Submissions are open now so please email your poems and contact details to art@rumseywells.co.uk. Poems must be no longer than 40 lines and must reach the people of Art in the Underbelly by no later than April 5th.

A selection of photos from the opening of Submit & Exhibit 2. Our busiest ever opening night saw over 100 people pass through the doors and the gallery got so packed people couldn’t even get in at one point. Big thanks go out to Inlay for playing a sublime set of trad folk and Phil Cooper and Lucy Blue for getting a dancefloor going towards the end of the evening.
A quick roundup of our some of the things featured in our Autumn/Winter 2011 programme. Shot by humdrum and soundtracked by Luke Abbott’s excellent remix of Transept’s ‘Leopard Slug Love Song’.
Our next exhibition at AITU features artists from as far afield as the USA and as close to home as Norwich itself. Free entry as always with live music, DJs and a limited edition giveaway for the first 20 people through the door
