About us
You’re invited to British Art Show 9 - the UK’s most ambitious touring exhibition of contemporary art!
From 8 October to 23 December (8 January at The Box), come and see the work of some of the country’s most exciting artists, in a free exhibition that only visits four cities across the country, once every five years.
British Art Show 9 showcases art produced by 37 different artists from 2015 up to now; a period that begins with Britain voting to leave the European Union and closes with the still unfolding COVID-19 pandemic.
The artists in British Art Show 9 use film, photography, painting, sculpture and performance to highlight and respond to this complex time; exploring new modes of resistance and imagining a more hopeful world. Their projects often blur the boundaries between art and life; imagining alternative futures and different ways of living together that focus on collaboration, care and the things we have in common.
Whether you’re an avid art-lover or a first-time visitor, don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to see this blockbuster exhibition with family, friends or by yourself, in four of the city’s best arts venues.
Venues: The Box, Tavistock Place, Plymouth PL4 8AX - KARST, 22 George Place, Stonehouse, Plymouth PL1 3NY - The Levinsky Gallery, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth PL4 8AA - MIRROR, Arts University Plymouth, Tavistock Place, Plymouth PL4 8AT
