Summer Exhibition of the North 2025

The Summer Exhibition has now closed at The 1912 Mill at Sunnybank Mills, Farsley, Leeds . To view the shortlisted artworks that were included in the exhibiton, please go to our online gallery here.

NEW LIGHT, a charity for the celebration and promotion of the visual arts in the North of England, has three main aims:

• Putting contemporary Northern art on the map – supporting both emerging and established artists in the North of England through the New Light Prize Exhibition.
• Bringing art out of the gallery and into public spaces – through the free lending of the New Light Collection to hospitals, schools, charities and community groups.
• Putting art back on the curriculum whatever your age – education through our Art for All programme – free workshops, talks and activities.
