EXHIBIT

SUPPORTING EXCELLENCE THROUGH ACCESS AND EQUITY IN THE ARTS

Are you interested in exhibiting at NAE?

The NAE EXHIBIT programme is to become a platform which supports the showcase of the most talented, innovative and visionary curators, contemporary visual artists and creative practitioners with a socially engaged focus within their practice, working with any medium. Given NAE’s key mission, stimulating new perspectives on the value of diversity in art and society we are supporting work centered around the Global Ethnic Majority*

EXHIBIT will also allow the exhibiting artists to engage with NAE’s audiences and diverse communities through public engagement opportunities where they can take part and participate in NAE’s wider activity programme.

EXHIBIT will make space for contemporary visual practitioners including artists, curators, writers, activists, designers, architects, with proposals to inhabit and exhibit in NAE’s main gallery.

Through this process, NAE will select two exhibitions to be hosted in its Main Gallery during the Autumn and Winter of 24/25.
