The Bonington Gallery stands on Dryden Street in Nottingham city centre, housed within the Bonington Building. This contemporary art space is dedicated to exhibiting work by students and staff from the University of Nottingham’s Lakeland School of Art and Design, alongside commissioned pieces and rotating guest collections. The gallery operates as a public exhibition venue, welcoming visitors to explore emerging artistic practice across painting, sculpture, printmaking, digital media and installation work.
Located in the NG1 postcode district at the heart of Nottingham’s cultural quarter, the gallery is easily reached on foot from the city’s main shopping and entertainment zones. The space functions as both a teaching resource and a community focal point, hosting private views, artist talks and collaborative projects throughout the year. Its programme reflects the creative output of one of the Midlands’ leading art education institutions, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in contemporary visual arts and emerging talent in the East Midlands.
