NAE Open 2026

The NAE Open returns for its sixth iteration in 2026, with a presentation of works that includes paintings, print, video, installation, photography, textiles and sculpture. This exhibition was created through a competitive open application for Nottinghamshire based artists and Global Ethnic majority* artists living anywhere in the UK. A panel of advocates including neighbours, artists and curators chose from a substantive number of submissions. The result is an eclectic and compelling selection of artists at different stages of their careers.
