Event overview
What does Birmingham need to ensure that artists can continue to find and sustain affordable, accessible and appropriate workspace across the city?

We will share emerging findings from Creative Workspaces: A Research Project & Action-led Report for Birmingham, exploring the current landscape of visual arts workspace across the city, the challenges and pressures facing artists and spaces, and opportunities to create a more sustainable and resilient creative workspace ecology.

A full event agenda, including breaks will follow.

Event aims: The aim is to develop a shared set of ‘How might we?’ questions to help identify potential solutions and recommendations. Together we will build a fuller picture of what is needed to support a more sustainable, affordable and accessible visual arts workspace ecosystem in Birmingham and begin to explore what different stakeholders can do to help make that possible.

Who is this event for? The forum is intended to bring a range of perspectives into the conversation. We particularly welcome:

• artists and workspace providers
• representatives from Birmingham City Council and West Midlands Combined Authority
• developers and property stakeholders/owners
• funders
• local councillors
• representatives from higher education, galleries and independent arts organisations
• anyone with an interest in Birmingham’s creative infrastructure.
  
  You do not need to have been involved in the research so far to take part.
