Over the last three years there’s been an unparalleled rise in artist-run activity in Birmingham. This has affected the culture of contemporary art in the West Midlands in a dramatic way. The number of artists choosing to stay and work within the city has increased, and an intensification of artistic production has taken place. Birmingham has a unique sense of identity, and it’s easy to see that the city holds great potential. Its ever-expanding population of artists – together with the inhabitants of the city as a whole – provides a vibrant set of influences for cultural production, and it’s primarily this situation that has started to affect the way that a new network of contemporary art spaces work and position themselves.
