About Art Fest 2026
Art Fest 2026 is a three-day celebration of street art, visual culture and creative communities, taking place across Nottingham from 20–22 November. Under the theme Build a City for Artists, this year's festival brings together exhibitions, artist talks, workshops, film screenings and the launch of A Common Practise, a new independent publication exploring creative communities in the UK and beyond. Through a programme of local, national and international artists, we explore how creativity shapes the places we live and how we can build cities that better support artists and their communities. Delivered on a not-for-profit basis, Art Fest 2026 invites everyone to discover, connect and imagine what a city built for artists could look like.

CANvas is an open call inviting artists to turn empty spray cans into artworks. Submit a hand-painted can or send us a digital design to be printed and applied to one, then see the finished works exhibited at Broadway Gallery as part of Art Fest 2026.
