The Permanent Collection
 

It has been the practice from the early years of the Society for a work from an exhibition to be selected by the President, Chairman of Selectors and members of the Panel and purchased for the Permanent Collection.

This collection is now a significant representation of much of the best work that has been produced by artists in East Anglia over the past half century.
