ABOUT US

A Vibrant Hub for Creativity and Community

We are a Nottingham-based non-profit community group and creative collective, dedicated to showcasing the incredible talent of local artists and celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies. We curate unique, immersive art shows across the city, transforming diverse venues into vibrant spaces where creativity flourishes.

A Niche Artefact Experience:

Our signature "Niche Artefact" shows are a dazzling fusion of visual and performing arts. Imagine mingling with a diverse crowd as you witness captivating live performances – from electrifying drag acts and burlesque to soulful vocalists and thought-provoking performance art. Interwoven between these dynamic acts, local artists unveil exclusive, never-before-seen artwork created specifically for each show, making every Niche Artefact event a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Get involved and be part of the magic

Join us as we pull back the red crushed velvet curtain on Nottingham's thriving arts scene at our Artists Exhibitions. Whether you're an artist, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who believes in the power of community, there's a place for you here.
