Fuelled by a continued resurgence of lace in contemporary culture and art and design practice, Lace:here:now is a season of events that will take place in the city that was once at the heart of the lace manufacturing industry - Nottingham. In recognition of the value of lace and its importance to the identity of Nottingham and beyond, Lace:here:now will celebrate the heritage of Nottingham lace and demonstrate that lace still inspires, fascinates and excites.

Evolved from a series of discussions between Nottingham Trent University's School of Art & Design and Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, the season will take place at key venues across the city.

Exhibitions will be held at:

•Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery
•Bonington Gallery
•Lakeside Arts Centre.
Other events have also been arranged, including opportunities for:

•lace making at Nottingham Contemporary;
•Lace and heritage collections, talks and workshops lead by Debbie Bryan Studio & Shop;
•films about Nottingham Lace at The Broadway; and
•storytelling events.
