As Nottingham’s biggest indoor music and entertainment venue continues to celebrate 25 years of unforgettable shows and memories, they are inviting you to be part of a special celebration…

Nottingham Arena have teamed up with The People’s Picture Project to create a giant photo mosaic that will proudly sit in the main arena foyer. The mosaic will be made from thousands of fan photos — and yours could be one of them. Whether it’s a gig selfie, a special night out, or your first ever show, submit your images and they’ll become part of a unique piece of art that you’ll see every time you visit.
Over those years they’ve hosted World-class musical acts including Lady GaGa, Elton John, Beyonce, Kylie, Metallica, Oasis and Justin Bieber. They’ve hosted some of the biggest comedians on the planet like Peter Kay and Ricky Gervais. They’ve also served as a key site for major sporting events including Premier League Darts, World Championship Boxing, UFC, WWE and the annual Elite Ice Hockey League Play-Off Finals.

The final image will be put together by British Artist Helen Marshall, who has previously created high quality photo mosaic art and installations, for clients including Alexandra Palace, the National Memorial Arboretum and the Scottish Football Museum. The image above is her with her mosaic called The People's Monarch which she created in 2012 for BBC South East and depicts the late Queen Elizabeth II at the time of both her coronation and at her Diamond Jubilee.
The Nottingham Arena mosaic will be unveiled and displayed in the foyer of the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham later this year.
