Abbey Street Window Gallery – Celebrating Local Creativity
Nuneaton is a town full of talent, and we want to bring it to the streets! Our Abbey Street office window project is a vibrant new initiative designed to showcase the work of local artists in a way that everyone can enjoy.
Each month, a different local artist will take over the Abbey Street window, transforming it into a mini-gallery that celebrates creativity, colour, and imagination. From paintings and photography to mixed media and illustration, this is a unique chance for the public to see the incredible talent that exists right here in Nuneaton.
The window is perfectly positioned for passersby along Queens Road, so whether you’re on your way to work, shopping, or just enjoying a stroll, you can pause to appreciate the art and discover more about the artists behind it. Not only does this project offer local creatives a platform to share their work, but it also adds a splash of inspiration and brightness to Abbey Street, bringing energy and life to our town centre.
Stay tuned each month to see who’s featured next – and don’t forget to stop by, take a closer look, and support Nuneaton’s thriving creative community!
Current Featured Artist
The Nuneaton Arts Emerging Artist Network is a group of 18–30-year-olds who meet fortnightly at The Abbey Theatre to co-produce events which provide platforms for creatives to share their work. They are also individual artists from across the creative disciplines themselves:
The group (Aaron Maynard-Corcoran, Alex Webster, Caitlin Jenkins, Olé Sanghera, Oliver Tizick, Rae Wright, Swellen D'Souza, and Violet Hills) have been meeting since September 2025. Their first project was for the annual Hope Festival at The Abbey Theatre in February.
Now, they invite you to join them for two exciting events in July:
