Birmingham Support for the Arts
The Culture of the Arts in Britain has always been preeminent and world-class, and one of the reasons for this is the long running state support that the arts receive. There are art societies and coalitions that have managed to keep the aims and goals of artists and their patrons within reach.
The Royal Birmingham Society of Artists is one such institution. Since 1807 the Society has encouraged a nurturing environment for artists and their patrons, and they do so with outreach programs and educational offerings that serve to support artists in all mediums so that they can further develop their craft.
As a charitable organization, the Society does not charge for admission for any of their exhibitions, instead relying on grateful alumni and the public to assist them as they apply their mission statement to everything they do. Foundations, businesses and individuals who all see the value in what they do fund the Society. Additional funding is secured by the sale of participant art. Those seeking to purchase works will find willing craftsmen in every field from painting to jewelry, pottery and textiles. Oftentimes, visitors to Birmingham hotels will have interest in these sales, and their Birmingham hotel will be called on to facilitate shipping or transport of their purchases.
The Society also conducts workshops and lectures for the development of various art programs and further advancement of artisan skills. They have a calendar of events, so if any of these types of functions interest you, you will no doubt find a venue that meets your interest. Your Birmingham hotel may also be able to provide assistance if you wish to participate. They can help arrange transportation to and from classes if you need it. Birmingham hotels are notoriously supportive of the arts, and they will go out of their way to make sure that your stay contains as much of the arts as you can handle.
