Founder Abbey Stirling launched West Acre Gallery in April 2019. Inspired by the wealth of talented artists and artisans living in the largely rural community of west Norfolk, she wanted to provide an all-inclusive place for people of all walks to create and connect.
Launching a Crowdfunder in 2018, Abbey raised £3,631 for the gallery’s start-up costs and equipment, with the support of 40 investors. The generosity of those who donated helped breathe new life into an historic building, in this picturesque rural setting rich with heritage.
