The New Art Gallery Walsall and Multistory are pleased to announce that we’re now accepting applications for Assembly 2026. Assembly is an annual exhibition programme of newly commissioned work by emerging artists based in the Black Country, initiated as part of Multistory's artist development programme BCN. Three artists will receive development support and mentoring from both organisations, a commission fee of £1,500 to create new work as well as having access to a production budget. The programme will culminate in a group exhibition, to be exhibited at The New Art Gallery Walsall in the Floor 4 Gallery between July and October 2026. This opportunity is open to visual artists, who are currently living and making work in the Black Country.
