CAPTURING CREATIVITY

EXHIBITIONCATALOGUE2024

We are delighted to present this year ’ s Creative Art Showcase exhibition, Capturing Creativity, a celebration of artistic innovation.
Our mission is to make creativity in all its diverse forms accessible to all our communities This exhibition, as part of the wider annual showcase event, ensures we provide an invaluable opportunity to support artists and offer audiences high-quality cultural experiences.
With over 90 artists’ works on display, this group show features diverse and innovative approaches to creating art From painting and drawing, sculpture and crafts to contemporary digital art forms, the exhibition showcases the most amazing breadth of artistic endeavours created by artists from the West Midlands, the UK, and Europe
The artists on show are tackling big themes: the contemporary human condition, a sense of place, mental health and wellbeing, and the natural world through detailed studies of wildlife, expansive landscapes, and even the cosmos
This year ’ s exhibition includes an Art Trail, connecting the three parts of the showcase event, offering a fun and inspiring way for visitors to immerse themselves in creativity as they encounter beautiful and surprising art pieces.
Most artworks are for sale, providing a unique opportunity for collectors and art enthusiasts to acquire one-of-a-kind pieces and support the artistic community. Additionally, the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists will select a winning artist to receive free three-year membership in recognition of their exceptional work This is a fantastic opportunity, and we are incredibly grateful to RBSA for their support.
Visitors are invited to choose their favourite art work in ‘The Peoples Choice’ and the winning artist will feature in the Creative Art Showcase poster artwork throughout 2025 appearing all over the region
Thank you for supporting the arts Your involvement helps us continue to bring creativity to all.
