Dazed Clubbers to an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of <\/span><em><span>New Contemporaries, <\/span><\/em>an exhibition<span>\u00a0celebrating emerging voices in British art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Every year, <\/span>New Contemporaries <span>\u2013 an organisation that champions early career and emerging artists in the UK \u2013 presents a group exhibition. This time around, <\/span>the show is platforming 26 artists selected through an open call by artists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pioabad\/?hl=en\">Pio Abad<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/louise___giovanelli\/?hl=en\">Louise Giovanelli<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theofficialgracendiritu\/?hl=en\">Grace Ndiritu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The tour was led by Lily Tonge, the South London Gallery\u2019s head of programme, and S\u00e9amus McCormack, deputy director of New Contemporaries.<span>\u00a0It was another example of how Dazed Clubbers can access unique art experiences and get that much closer to some of London\u2019s landmark exhibitions and galleries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After the tour, the gallery\u2019s caf\u00e9 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The <em>New Contemporaries<\/em> exhibition at South London Gallery runs until 12 April 2026.
