Hello, welcome to our latest issue!
As we wait with baited breath for the outcome of this week’s general election, and gather ourselves back together after the scares of recent events, we send our love and comfort to all those affected, as well as our admiration to our police and emergency services.
With this newsletter we give you the latest art opportunities, upcoming events and news from the East Midlands ~
For the latest announcements about our programme look no further.
In Another Place
We were delighted to receive a selection of exciting and thoughtful applications to In Another Place, our region-wide project celebrating the organisations in our region. Find out which organisations have been selected to take part.
Meet the Artist
Many thanks to Ross Oliver, our Meet the Artist participant over the last few weeks, we now welcome Nottingham based artist Louisa Chambers. Louisa’s current practice investigates the depiction of three-dimensional shapes onto two-dimensional surfaces through the lens of painting. You can find out more about her work here.
You can find out news of our other projects The Start of Something and Document, as well as from our national network below.

Artist Filip Markiewicz’s new body of work responds to the current crises facing Europe – the rise of populist parties, terrorist attacks and the refugee crisis.The exhibition will evolve over the coming 18 months. The exhibition’s migration is, in part, an autobiographical mirror for the artist from the project’s debut at NN Contemporary Art in Northampton, home to a significant Polish diaspora, and the artist’s native Luxembourg.

In Kevin Hunt’s new Artist-led Hot 100 List commissioned by a-n, Nottingham projects and spaces feature four times. Congratulations to Aspirational Living, Losers Gym, Hutt Collective and TG! We love all our artist led and artist-centred initiatives, they’re where a lot of the region’s really exciting practice is going on and are the life blood of artist communities across the region. We’d like to shout about you all, so let us know if you’d like to feature on the website. Until then, keep up the good work!
NTU student one of 10 graduates featured in a-n’s Degree Show Guide 2017
Wendy Asumadu, graduating from the BA Fine Art course at NTU shared her work and discussed her practice with art-news.
“I find the best artworks are successful because there is a curiosity that makes the audience want to delve in and look into it further. This is what I’d like to acheive.”
Wendy’s work has developed throughout the degree, moving from Dutch fabric sculptures to video work. Her degree show will feature videos of herself, grappling with her family’s native language.
NTU Degree Show: 3 -10 June.
Degree Show season starts
Degree Show season is upon us again. For the newest in contemporary practice and the freshest talent, check out the exhibitions at universities across the region. Find out more about the exhibitions on our website.
