NFP was an artist-led art project space in Brighton, UK, co-founded by James William Murray and Martin Seeds. In 2017 Murray and Seeds renovated a semi-derelict garage and adjoining workshops to create a space for showcasing contemporary art. Located 20 minutes from Brighton central station, in the residential area of Hanover, it was, for a moment, the best-kept secret of Brighton’s grassroots art scene. In 2020 NFP marked the closure of the space with its first off-site project with Reinis Lismanis, hosted by Brighton Centre for Contemporary Arts. For Murray and Seeds, NFP was an elaborate networking tool – a way of connecting with other artists and presenting exhibitions that resonated with their practice interests. This exhibition is motivated by the same ethos.
