Schools and movements may come and go, but artists always return to the business of looking and observing the world around them for new inspiration.

Patrick Cullen - President

New English Art Club | Annual Exhibition 2025

The NEAC represents the best of figurative painting, drawing and printmaking. The artist members of the NEAC include many leading contemporary figurative artists from all around the UK whose work is hung alongside a large open submission of non-members' work.

‘We are committed to artistic authenticity grounded in the observation of life and articulated with the beauty of skilful language and craftsmanship,’ says the NEAC, ‘We were founded in 1886 inspired by the fresh vision offered by French Impressionism. We continue to represent art that is about visual inquisitiveness and looking anew.’

A series of special events will accompany the exhibition, including the NEAC Annual Lecture.

The NEAC Climate Emergency Prize

The NEAC, with the support of their Patron, His Majesty King Charles III presents a £2,000 Climate Emergency Prize, alongside a £500 runner-up prize for the two best artworks in their Annual Exhibition 2025 that address the climate emergency.

The NEAC feels that while no one has all the answers to the climate crisis, this prize is one small way to increase public awareness of such a critical issue. The judging panel comprises Emma Stibbon RA, Chris Packham CBE, Olwyn Bowey RA, and Leon Morrocco RSA.
