This looks ace:
The Event is a contemporary arts festival in Eastside, Birmingham to showcase the best in artist-led activity. Bringing together artists, curators and artist-led projects, visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in challenging artworks indoors and out.
The Event will be delivered by some of the city’s key artist-led groups to explore a range of contemporary arts activity including visual arts, performance, live art, film, video, web-based, installation, intervention and sound, all demonstrating the diversity of the thriving arts community in the city.
The roll call of artists involved is fantastic; drawn largely from the committee behind the Birmingham Contemporary Art Forum (giving things a nice, artist-driven feel) with another five commissioned projects on top.
The Event runs from 4-8 November, with exhibitions open 12-5pm and events taking place daily. For more info, here’s the timetable.
