New Art Exchange Open 2023

20 May - 23 Sept 2023, Nottingham

​

The NAE Open returns for its third iteration, with a presentation of work that includes paintings, video, live art, photography, textiles and sculpture. This dynamic exhibition was created through a competitive, open application process for Nottinghamshire -based artists and Global Ethnic Majority* artists living anywhere in the UK. Tasked to seek out the most innovative and high-quality artworks that address key societal concerns and interests, a panel of advocates included neighbours, artists and curators who chose from almost 350 submissions. The result is an eclectic and compelling selection of 44 artists at different stages in their careers. The artworks speak to contemporary conversations that align with NAE’s mission. They range from personal accounts of migration, retracing personal histories, questioning what it means to belong within a society, and responses to political and cultural viewpoints on race and gender identity, to name a few. The exhibition also features work that celebrates Nottingham through its people and landscape.
