One of the UK's biggest contemporary art exhibitions comes to Coventry. For the first time, British Art Show 10 comes to Coventry bringing together more than 30 of the most exciting artists working in the UK today for a major citywide celebration of contemporary art.
Curated by acclaimed writer and curator Ekow Eshun, A Chorus of Strangers explores what it means to live alongside people who are different from us, asking questions about identity, belonging, connection and our relationship with the world around us.
From painting and sculpture to film, photography, textiles and immersive installation, the exhibition brings together a remarkable range of work across three very different Coventry venues.
And the best part? Admission to the exhibition is free.
Experience art beyond the traditional gallery
British Art Show 10 isn't confined to a single exhibition space.
In Coventry, the exhibition spreads across three distinctive venues, creating a citywide art experience that takes you from a major museum in the city centre to a leading arts centre and an innovative university building.
