A new exhibition celebrating emerging and early career artists has opened across Humber Street Gallery and Ferens Art Gallery in Hull.
Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2022 features 48 emerging talents selected from an open submission by internationally-renowned artists James Richards, Veronica Ryan and Zadie Xa.
Established in 1949, New Contemporaries gives visibility, recognition and support to
the incredible breadth and depth of emerging talent, enabling artists’ practices to
become more sustainable long-term
We chatted with New Contemporaries Director, Kirsty Ogg, to find our more about the exhibition –
Alongside this exhibition, both venues will be hosting supporting events as part of a public programme. A variety of participating artists will take part in an Online Artist Talk on 28 September from 6pm to 7:30pm, hosted digitally via Zoom, as well as an in-person Artist Talk at Humber Street Gallery on 10 November, part of their Thursday Lates series of events.
On the last Sunday of every month of the exhibition being open, visitors can join a free hourly tour of the works across both buildings, run by HEY! Volunteers.
