Pending Collective

We are a group of emerging artists aged 16-25 hosted by BACKLIT, focused on creating projects and events in Nottingham to encourage connection to the local culture and community. Including students and soon-to-be graduates, our artists find a home in Nottingham and are in pursuit of enriching themselves and others through the creative process.

Our projects span a large variety and cultivate the environment to develop skills in project management, curating exhibitions, organising events, workshops, and marketing.

1525 Collective

We are 1525, a group of young creatives who gather regularly at Nottingham Contemporary!

We strive to be a proactive collective in sharing resources, discussing ideas, and mutually supporting each other’s creative interests. We provide a space for critical engagement combined with invention and playfulness. We pledge to connect and respond to the issues that affect young people in the city. Together, we move to reimagine the arts in a broadening experimental practice.
