Saturday 20 May 2017 from 12PM - 5PM
Despite being walking distance from the city centre, it could be easy to forget about Hyson Green’s New Art Exchange if it was not for the tempting and diverse programme of events they put on. This weekend is no exception with Melting Pot set to be a lively jamboree bringing together community, creativity and delicious cuisine. A medley of local food stalls, drop-in arty workshops and live music are promised, with a buzzing atmosphere.
Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st May
While the finished project of an artist can be a beautiful treat to behold, the places in which they create can be infinitely fascinating too, telling the story of how an artist works or how a particular piece has been created. This weekend artists throughout Lady Bay, just south of Trent Bridge, present their annual art festival to show off their studios, homes, and gardens. There will be delicious food, wandering musicians, art and gifts to purchase, and the chance to chat with the artists themselves. Pick up a trail guide at The Poppy & Pint to begin exploring for a great day in the community!
17th - 20th May 2017
Museums at Night is the UK's annual after-hours festival of arts, culture and heritage when hundreds of museums, galleries, libraries, archives and heritage sites open their doors for special evening events. You'll find out more information on the exciting places to visit during this annual event in our recent blog.
Friday 19th May
Something a little unusual has been creeping around Nottingham Contemporary of late... On a grey day you could be mistaken in blaming the shortcomings of the great British weather for the moody fog which has sporadically shrouded the gallery, or even (as many have reportedly feared) the result of a fire, being a gallery of innovative art and ideas however, it was always likely to be something a little more avant-garde. This weekend international artists Lara Favaretto and Wu Tsang open their respective exhibitions, and as always it’s set to be a night of intriguing art and great music. Tickets are free but booking is advised, and don’t forget to get there early for a free cocktail!

Ultimate Bowie – The Palace Theatre
https://youtu.be/vWSlqCGThJ4 Friday 19th May The world has gone quite Bowie crazy in the year since his passing, with people of all ages pulling out the Think White Duke’s back catalogue to reminisce about glitter make up, platform boots and youthful days in the surreal seventies. For those wondering if a tribute act could ever live up to Ziggy’s star presence, with Ultimate Bowie you might be surprised. Ed Blaney not only looks the part, but also has quite the knack for Bowie’s charmingly impish warble and will take you from Aladdin Sane to Superstar.Lara Favaretto & Wu Tsang Exhibition Opening – Nottingham Contemporary
