morePUT IT IN YOUR DIARIES – THE PROVISIONAL DATES FOR ARTSFEST 2012 ARE THE 8TH – 9TH SEPTEMBER!
AS SOON AS WE HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION IT WILL BE POSTED HERE.
ArtsFest 2011 took place on Saturday 10th September and Sunday 11th September. Across the City centre we had a number venues who opened their doors to a wide range of art, including dance, music, theatre, comedy and more. All open to the public for FREE!
We had around 200,000 people visit the festival over the weekend to enjoy and participate in each of the performances and workshops that were held.
This year we also introduced FlowerFest as an ArtsFest strand where there were question and Answer sessions, society stalls and a range of flowers and vegetables on show.
As ever we had a fantastic firework display on the main stage on Saturday night along with Classical Fantasia. Unfortunately the Birmingham Royal Ballet were unable to perform due to the heavy downpour.
On Sunday night “The Best of Birmingham” took over with Kerrang and Q radio with The Guillemots headlining.
We had visual artists display their work on the railings of Centenary Square and in our ArtSpace marquee in Victoria Square.
We also hope you got the chance to see some of our art installations around the site, as well as see what the Craft stalls had to offer.
We hope that the artists, volunteers and public enjoyed the event as much as we did and we look forward to hearing from you for ArtsFest 2012.
