Artists are invited to submit work for exhibition alongside members of the New English Art Club at the NEAC Annual Exhibition 2024.
The NEAC (New English Art Club) is an elected society of contemporary painters whose ethos resides in art informed by the visual world and personal interpretation. Its Annual Exhibition is a showcase not only for its members but also for aspiring artists: with a history going back more than a hundred years, it is an opportunity for work to be seen alongside some of the best artists painting today, held at Mall Galleries in London.
The exhibition offers over £10,000 worth of prizes and awards to win! (see ‘Prizes & Awards’ below)
“In each of our exhibitions, a wonderful symbiosis can be seen at play. The NEAC’s more altruistic mission to help and nurture individual emerging artists works in parallel with its hunger to invigorate itself with new talent. The relationship is successful – those less recognised gain from the opportunity to exhibit and associate with our established members, and the Club as a body is revitalised…” – Peter Brown, President of the NEAC

We recommend that artists submit well in advance of the deadline to allow time for assistance with their application if required.
