New Contemporaries is the longest running and most highly regarded survey of contemporary art emerging from the UK’s art schools. The exhibition has been organised annually since 1949. Selected from open submissions of recent graduate work, the list of past exhibitors reads like a who’s who of British art spanning that time.

Despite this incredible record, New Contemporaries digital estate was failing to meet the needs of the organisers, applicants, exhibitors and visitors. It was beginning to dent their stellar reputation.

We were hired to develop a process to establish the current digital needs of the organisation and, through a series of workshops, explore how digital can serve their stakeholders in the future.

Additionally, we were asked to take over the existing website and redevelop it on Boom CMS as a staging post along the way to a full redesign later in 2018.
