New Contemporaries

New Contemporaries actively supports the next generation of contemporary visual artists, enabling talent to ensure the long-term sustainability of emerging practices.

Since 1949 New Contemporaries has played a vital part in the story of contemporary British art, and has reflected as well as responded to developments in artistic practice, the changing landscape of galleries, and the role of art school education over nearly 70 years.

New Contemporaries Archive before 1989

Through a collaborative PhD with Nottingham Trent University, to research our archive and history, we have a long-term aim to catalogue and share the archive material we hold as well as finding ways to signpost to any material held elsewhere. We are welcoming our alumni artists who have participated since 1949, our selectors, visitors to our exhibitions, and friends to share any material they might have.
