Have you ever walked away from a painting, film, or installation changed in some way? Tell us about the specific piece and how it stayed with you.

What’s one artwork you still think about years later because it helped you make sense of something painful or confusing?

“Artists help us see the world anew and it’s precisely in challenging times like we see today that artists go to work. We must continue to commission, produce and nurture artists at this crucial early stage in their careers so we don’t lose a diversity of voice and practice, and so we can inspire and create for everyone, not just the art world.” Read our latest blog from Kiera on the future of NC and exciting changes to this year’s submissions which open 3 – 31 March: https://newcontemporaries.org.uk/news/-kiera-blakey-new-contemporaries-director-
