New Contemporaries exhibition of emerging and early career artists returns to the SLG for the fourth consecutive year. The 2021 edition includes 75 artists selected through an open submission by internationally renowned artists Hew Locke, Tai Shani and Michelle Williams Gamaker.

New Contemporaries was established in 1949 to give visibility and recognition to an incredible breadth and depth of emerging talent. It also provides other vital development opportunities that enable artists’ practices to become more sustainable long-term.

The new online platform allows audiences to further engage with the artists’ work, available at platform.newcontemporaries.org.uk.
