About

NTU Festival: The Island 

13th – 23rd March 

Opening Nights: Tuesday 12th and Tuesday 19th March, 6-8pm 

This March sees the return of the annual Surface collaboration with Nottingham Trent University with the 13th NTU Festival: The Island

Following the success of last year’s festival, Inside, Outside, Together, Apart, this year’s selected Fine Art students will use a critical and reflective approach to curate group exhibitions in response to the festival’s title by exploring the idea of The Island as a potent site of the imagination onto which we can project fantasies, aspirations, and possible futures. The Island is a physical space and an imaginary one, a place of utopian isolation that is both destination and point of departure for this year’s selected artists.

The NTU Festival offers selected Fine Art students the opportunity to curate a group exhibition that establishes their practice outside of the university. Surface provides a supportive and professional environment for the students to plan and show their work. Two exhibitions will run concurrently in each week of the festival.
