Imperial War Museums are interested in engaging a commissioning partner for a large-scale artist/s commission project to be developed and delivered in the Birmingham/West Midlands area in 2026. Through a facilitated conversation hosted with Culture Central, IWM would like to establish a commissioning opportunity in the region in consultation with local organisations and artists.

In particular, IWM would like to explore the following questions: 

• How do you feel a large-scale artistic commission of national and international significance could best serve the local arts sector? 

• What do you think is important for your audiences for a commission of this scale? 

Join us at Fazeley Studios on 15 July, 1-4 pm to add your voice to the conversation.

We have 5 bursaries of £100 available to support freelance artists to attend. These are prioritised for those who face financial barriers to attending and will be available on a trust-based, first come first served basis.

Please email yasaminsaeidi@culturecentral.co.uk if you would like this bursary.  

Our events are often over-subscribed, and we want to make sure everyone who would like to attend can join us. Please note that non-attendance or cancellation of a place with less than 48 hours’ notice (with reasonable exemptions) will result in us issuing your organisation with an invoice for £25 towards irrecoverable venue and catering costs.
