Nottingham Contemporary
Free, donations welcome
Join Nottingham Contemporary's curators to discuss the key concepts and ideas presented in our two Autumn season exhibitions.
In Gallery 1, we are presenting Mud is everything, the first international institutional solo exhibition of Julia Isídrez (b.1967, Paraguay), whose clay sculptures trouble and enlighten many issues that define cultural debate today – from indigeneity and identity politics to craft.
In Galleries 2&3, we are presenting Midnight Sun, the first institutional solo exhibition, and largest presentation of works to date, of the late British artist Sarah Cunningham (1993–2024, UK). The exhibition marks a deeply meaningful homecoming: the return of the artist's work to the city where she was born and raised.
Give What You Can
Entry to our exhibitions, events, fairs and our family activities is free but we need your support. Your donations make it possible to keep doing everything we do: from our world-leading exhibitions to our activities for families, young people and schools. With your support we can continue making a difference to the cultural, educational and social life of Nottingham and the East Midlands.
Please support us with a donation and register for Gift Aid to add 25% at no extra cost to you.
