For a third year running, New Art West Midlands is giving emerging artists from the West Midlands a unique opportunity to showcase their work. The exhibition is taking places across four sites – Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Wolverhampton Art Gallery and the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry, showing the work of thirty artists who have all recently graduated from one of the region’s undergraduate and postgraduate fine art degree courses.
A Turning Point West Midlands initiative, visitors can expect to see painting, sculpture, photography, performance, installation and video works from some of the West Midlands’ most promising artists. Five of the 30 artists will win cash prizes of £1000, plus a select group will be offered residencies, a project or mentoring opportunities with a network of partners, including Compton Verney, The New Art Gallery Walsall and the National Trust.
