What went down at the Dazed Club private view of New Contemporaries

Dazed Clubbers were invited to the South London Gallery to an exclusive, curator-led tour of a new exhibition dedicated to emerging artists in the UK, followed by a drinks reception

Last week, Dazed Club and South London Gallery invited 50 Dazed Clubbers to an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of New Contemporaries, an exhibition celebrating emerging voices in British art.

Every year, New Contemporaries – an organisation that champions early career and emerging artists in the UK – presents a group exhibition. This time around, the show is platforming 26 artists selected through an open call by artists Pio Abad, Louise Giovanelli and Grace Ndiritu.

The tour was led by Lily Tonge, the South London Gallery’s head of programme, and Séamus McCormack, deputy director of New Contemporaries. It was another example of how Dazed Clubbers can access unique art experiences and get that much closer to some of London’s landmark exhibitions and galleries.

After the tour, the gallery’s café hosted a cocktail hour, where Clubbers could hang out and chat about the show over complimentary drinks from Ghost Labs and Small Beer. See our photo gallery from the event above, captured by Dazed Clubber Jess Fine.

The New Contemporaries exhibition at South London Gallery runs until 12 April 2026. To attend exclusive events and tours like these, download the Dazed Club app to explore our event offerings.
