Opportunity Overview​​​​​​​

New Art West Midlands (NAWM) is back, and we are seeking existing artwork from West Midlands-based creatives to feature prominently on our newly designed website.

Our vision is for the new website to serve as a platform and resource that reflects the geographical breadth and diversity of the West Midlands’ creative community by showcasing artwork from creatives located across its six counties. By embedding the work of local artists into NAWM’s website, we aim to ensure it authentically represents the people it serves—artists, arts workers, and cultural organisations across the region.

NAWM’s rebrand is being led by Birmingham-based An Endless Supply.

Artist Fee

Artists selected for this opportunity will receive a fee of £800 to have existing artwork included on the NAWM website.

Artworks may also be used on NAWM’s social media channels. Artists’ work will be credited.
