Director Frazer Bailey, 34, from Norwich, started Moosey Art eight years ago and had previously opened a gallery in Bridewell Alley in the Norwich Lanes.
Mr Bailey said: “Moosey started out laughing. We started doing DIY shows and then opened a gallery in Bridewell Alley in 2015.

“It was a little too early for us, but we left and continued to work. We are now on the verge of being able to open two galleries, one here in Norwich and another in London.”

London’s Moosey Art Gallery will also open this month in Camden Passage, Islington.
The Norwich site will be managed by Kane Sawyer.
Along with the gallery, Moosey Art also has an online presence, selling limited edition prints.
Mr. Bailey has a straightforward approach to finding artists to present.
“We mainly focus on street art, but we are always open to new and different work.
“I literally spend hours browsing Instagram. When I see artists I like, I reach out to them and invite them for a show. We also try to work with artists outside the UK who have never been seen here before. ”
This approach to art research has been a cornerstone of its existence, helping to champion emerging talent and provide a platform for artists who may not have yet been seen.

The opening exhibition at the gallery will feature a global roster of artists, including Motonori Uwasu from Japan and Lysandre Begijn from the Netherlands.
Works by local artist Anmar Mirza will also be on display as part of the gallery’s first exhibition.
The gallery occupies the former site of the Rainbow Wholefoods store, which moved to Davey Place in the downtown area earlier this year.
The business unit had to be renovated following a fire in 2018 that damaged much of the building.
