Birmingham, your artists are SHOWING OFF. 🤩

Five new artists, five totally different approaches, all tackling Beauty and the Beast with maximum Brum behaviour. Different cities, different practices, different worlds — all pulled into orbit around a theme rooted in Birmingham’s grit, glow, contradictions and charm. Over forty artists in one exhibition, all in conversation with the same idea. Come see how wildly the story shifts from piece to piece.

Nicola James
Industrial grit turned jewellery. Minotaur‑bold rings cast from reclaimed metal, merging mythology with Birmingham’s bull‑headed resilience.

Russ Sargeant
Canal‑side contrasts, night trains, and the tension between stillness and movement. A city divided only by a pike fence, united by atmosphere.

Marta Pieroni
A Birmingham where pigeons, Selfridges discs, graffiti arches and resilient nature all negotiate who’s Beauty and who’s Beast.

Mitra Freeman
Dreamlike blues, folklore, resilience. A steam‑powered Birmingham creature with a beating heart, and green shoots pushing through the city’s armour.

Rose Wilde
Nature reclaiming pavement. A starling peering into an imagined meadow, asking what we choose to value in a city that’s always shifting.

All artwork stories are on the slides. Dive in, fall in love, get obsessed and then get yourself to the gallery to see them in real life. Bring your mates. Bring your mom. Bring someone who swears Birmingham “isnt all that” and watch their jaw drop.

Beauty and the Beast runs until 29th May.

If you’re anywhere near Birmingham and you miss this… that’s between you and your future self feeling all the FOMO.

Emma Hardicker - Layered collage, screen‑printed fragments, showing Birmingham beauty right in the heart of the city.

Jonathan Beale - A rainforest‑lush fig tree shaped by Digbeth’s textures, rising against industrial surroundings.

Kerrie Dale - A guardian figure emerging from childhood streets and in‑between spaces.

Khadijah Alharash - Architecture and organic form leaning toward each other in quiet dialogue.

Lou Jackson - Beauty in what is worn, repaired and quietly resilient.

Beauty and the Beast runs until 29 May. Save this post or send it to yourself so you don’t forget.

Ripped Back. Reborn. 🔥

Meet Cherie Jerrards latest original to drop in the gallery titled Underestimated.

It lay buried completely underneath another paste-up for a while, hidden away and forgotten until Cherie realised she underestimated how much she preferred what was buried underneath. So, she literally ripped the top layer back, exposing its hidden portrait, and began completely reworking on top of it. It's all about trusting your gut.

You can feel that story in every single part of the texture. The raw, exposed layers of paper, the super subtle graphic lines, it’s beautifully pared-back, intentionally, and it carries the kind of soul you only get when an artist knows own process.

We paired it with a wonderful red bobble frame, hand finished and purposely distressed to reveal the wood underneath that perfectly mimics the uncovered energy of the canvas.

All the details are live on the website right now. But let’s be real: it is hanging up in all its splendor in the gallery right now, and you need to see it in person. 👀

You will not be disappointed by this absolute gem 💎

Birmingham, you chaotic masterpiece. 🤌

We adore how wildly varied this spotlight is. A group of artists responding to one theme in completely different ways, yet every single one of them carries this city in their bones. From our feral alleyways to allotment magic, from post apocalyptic insects to living moss to intuitive inner worlds, this wave shows the full, messy, brilliant spectrum of Birmingham’s creativity. This variety of styles and artists is the literal joy of hosting an Open Call Exhibition.

Edward Luke Thrush - Gorgeously intricate pen work, wildlife tangled with urban grit. Finding beauty in the feral and unglamorous.

Emma Duggan - Sketchbook magic, intuition, symbolism. Everyday Birmingham slipping into dream space.

John Tedstone - DIY energy, found objects, street culture. A road sign reborn as post apocalyptic insect power.

Gwenda Jones - Clay, care, presence. A living sculpture holding the tension between humanity and the natural world.

Jenny Lundmark - Intuitive mixed media, emotional depth, nature pushing through concrete. A reminder of the life force that persists.

Dive in, fall in love, get obsessed, then get yourself to the gallery while it is still here! And honestly, save this post or send it to yourself. Your future self will thank you for the reminder.

Our exhibition Beauty and the Beast runs until 29th May.

CRUSHING STIGMA
This Mental Health Awareness Week, with Mitch Schofield.

For a long time, we have wanted to share the story of Mitch Schofield. She is an artist who has spent 30 years navigating a bipolar mind. Today, she has mastered an ancient medium to speak her truth.

Mitch engages in personal alchemy; literally crushing her old, out of date psychiatric medication to create pigment to create her art. The first time she did it and every moment since it is a radical act of reclamation,.something deeply personal. It is a middle finger to deep rooted stigma she has faced. It is some of the most beautiful, meticulously crafted work we have ever seen.

From the ancient traditions of Roman Egypt to the modern reality of Bipolar, Mitch is proving a point. In 2026, a Bipolar mind should no longer be taboo. As according to Bipolar UK, is estimated that more than one million people, or roughly one in 50, are living with bipolar disorder in the UK. It should be accepted along with an awareness that it is a way of life for alot of people.

The full deep dive is now live on our blog. Head to the link in our bio to read "Crushing Stigma: The Alchemy of Mitch Schofield."

We are also currently uploading new artwork from her upcoming Spring 2026 collection titled "And By The Way, I Hope You're Taking Those Meds"

Six artists. Six completely different ways of showing us what Beauty and the Beast looks like in a city built on grit, green, industry and nature.

This wave brings a full spectrum of Birmingham’s creative muscle. And honestly, this is the kind of work that hits different in person. Screens could never.

Arlene Adams - Photography
Urban decay, memory, resilience. Black and white beauty in the places the city forgets.

Clare Garrad - Abstract Painting
Texture, rhythm, emotion poured straight through the body. Birmingham’s worn edges turned luminous.

Aqsa A Mayet - Watercolour
Identity, belonging, cultural memory. Quiet and powerful storytelling rooted in lived experience.

Chris Cowdrill - Illustration and Digital Collage
Weeds, wildflowers, stubborn life pushing through concrete. The city’s soft rebellion.

Brian Prangle - Pastels
Spaghetti Junction as you have never seen it. Concrete and green negotiating space together.

Beth Coutts - Acrylic on Canvas
An enchanted rose glowing inside Birmingham’s industrial heart. Grit meeting wonder.

Get to know them and their work, dive in, fall in love, get obsessed, then get yourself to the gallery to see the exhibition in person.

Beauty and the Beast runs until 29th May. Send or save this to yourself as a reminder! ✨

Birmingham, take this as your sign, your diary is waiting for this.

‘Inner Worlds’ arrives at the gallery this June, and it’s bringing the monumental talent of Emma Woolley and Tara Harris who are currently making moves in the Brummie art scene.

Emma is serving up massive, psychologically charged portraits that hit you the second you walk in, while Tara is bringing surreal, otherworldly landscapes that will literally transport you out of this world.

For both artists, these works are a radical act of escape, a shared space of freedom where the pressures of everyday life fall away to reveal the hidden terrains of the imagination.

Avoid the fomo and get it locked in, it’s not one to be missed.
