Nottingham Contemporary

We are building one of the largest contemporary art spaces in the UK. When we have finished we will be an international art centre with a strong sense of local purpose.

While we wait for our building to be completed we will be inviting you to a series of exhibitions that examine Nottinghams layered history from a contemporary, international perspective.

Please check out our programme of events and educational activities related to The Impossible Prison.

Please join us by emailing info@nottinghamcontemporary.org
