Thursday 14 March 2013 - 5pm till 8pm
Launch Event

We invite you to join us celebrate this incredible building and enjoy the creative programme of drawings, images, sound and light, video and music from local, national and international artists.

There will be areas where you can listen, watch, study and participate as well as enjoy the full gravitas of the building itself.  You can discover how art and architecture make a positive difference to our lives and experience first-hand the art of investment

A key feature of the exhibition is an auction that will take place in the safety deposit box room.  You will be invited to invest £2 to receive a random number for a safety deposit box that will contain a limited edition art print.
 
Entrance to the exhibition will be free and open to all, thanks to funding awarded by The Arts Council, RIBA and Aedas and refreshments will be available. 

Friday 15 March 2013 - 5.30 pm to 7pm
Public Debate: Design Culture Birmingham


The Birmingham Architectural Association together with RIBA West Midlands invite you to a public debate with a panel that brings together architecture, art, local government and the heritage sector discussing the benefit of 'design culture': what are the common benefits of well-designed and well-preserved built environment, as well as a vibrant cultural offer for cities and their inhabitants  how are we achieving this in Birmingham and how can we do better.

The event will also see the launch of an ideas competition bringing together architectural practices, architecture students and arts organisation in the run-up to RIBA's Love Architecture Festival (21-30 June 2013). More information will be published closer to the date.
