Art Fest Nottingham is built on the values of connection, elevation, and collaboration. We connect you to Nottingham City Centre by bringing it to life with inspiring artworks and a vibrant, community-led event. We elevate the craft and graft of our local artists while welcoming talent from further afield, putting Nottingham on the map. We foster collaboration—between the city’s cultural organisations, awe-inspiring artists, dedicated festival volunteers, and the people of Nottingham—coming together to celebrate our city through visual art.

Benjamin Kay,
Director of Art Fest Nottingham 2025, says:
"In our first year, we worked with 34 artists to create 32 stunning artworks across the city centre. With the support of 10 incredible partners, Art Fest 2024 brought an estimated £90,000 into local businesses and welcomed over 3,000 visitors to our streets.

This year, we’re setting our sights on Nottingham’s Eastside—stretching from Victoria Centre to Sneinton Market, linking our bustling high street with the city's creative hub. Art Fest 2025 is more than a festival; it’s a movement to transform our streets making Nottingham a canvas for creativity!

Let’s paint Art into the Heart of Nottingham."
