Art Market presents the work of more than 60 of the UK’s most exciting and vibrant new and emerging painters, photographers, sculptors, printmakers and digital media artists over four days at Curzon Street Station, a stunning Grade I listed building in the heart of Eastside, Birmingham’s creative quarter.

Curated by the New Art Birmingham team, Art Market is for anyone interested in contemporary art. We have been ambitious in developing the concept of the Art Market working in collaboration with Glenn Howells Architects, to create an exciting environment to see artwork and meet artists. We will give art lovers access to unique, innovative, affordable contemporary work, with the chance to buy and commission directly from artists.

Artists were chosen by an expert selection panel which included Stephen Snoddy, Director of New Art Gallery Walsall and Chris Hammond, Director of MOT Gallery and curator of ‘The Artist with Two Brains’ at New Art Birmingham 2005. Art Market features emerging artists from Birmingham, London, Newcastle, Glasgow, Nottingham and Sheffield.
