National Portrait Gallery Opens a New Chapter in Contemporary Portraiture

This weekend the National Portrait Gallery opens Artists First: Contemporary Perspectives on Portraiture, a new programme of contemporary commissioning made possible through a continued partnership with the CHANEL Culture Fund.

The new works in a variety of media reclaim untold narratives for display alongside works from the National Portrait Gallery’s historic collection. Installation, textile, painting, collage, drawing and film works will be shown across galleries from 6 September 2025, coinciding with a programme of special events with participating artists.
