Nottingham

Nottingham Contemporary is one of the leading centres of contemporary art in Europe. Since opening in 2009, we have welcomed over two million visitors and presented more than 60 exhibitions, featuring around 800 artists. For everyone, for free.

Our exhibitions of international art stimulate important discussions about culture and society, and often explore overlooked figures, histories and geographies. We regularly present ambitious thematic exhibitions, such as: Still Undead: Popular Culture in Britain Beyond the Bauhaus (2019–20), which explored how Bauhaus ideas and teaching lived on in Britain, via pop culture and art schools; The Place is Here (2017), a landmark survey of Black British Art; and Still I Rise: Feminisms, Gender, Resistance (2018). We support artists at different stages of their careers, from presenting first-time solo exhibitions in the UK to surveys of internationally renowned figures. We often commission major new works, from artists including Lara Favaretto and Simon Starling, and a number of these have been acquired by major collections. Many of our exhibitions tour nationally and internationally. In 2019, Nottingham Contemporary was shortlisted for the Art Fund’s Museum of the Year Award.

We work closely with international contemporary artists who have featured in our acclaimed exhibition programme, to produce beautiful yet affordable benefit Artists’ Editions.

All profits made from our Artists’ Editions raise vital funds for our exhibition programme. By buying an edition, you will own a artwork by some of the world’s most exciting artist’s, whilst also supporting Nottingham Contemporary as a place of creativity and new ideas.
