Art Workshops and Gallery Activities
We are passionate about arts education! Learning is integral to our activities at Solihull Gallery. We have a firm belief that visual arts can inspire all age groups and run a range of interactive events and classes throughout the year. Examples include free artists’ talks, workshops for children & adults, artist book & craft fairs, and tailored school and education work.
Schools, colleges and families can take advantage of the contemporary exhibitions on show during the year by planning a trip, a project or workshop with our artists or within our gallery spaces. We are open 6 days a week, and entry is free.
Tutors: Please call or email to let us know in advance that you are coming or to talk about working with us in the future. We are also an Arts Award host venue.
