A portrait image of a cluttered studio space, with pale walls, a parquet wood floor, and overhead lighting. The image focusses on a wall filled with framed, expressive paintings with mythic theming, such as a knight with an arrow through their chest. A table filled with paint tubes, bottles of turpentine, and brushes sits in front of the wall, and this equipment spills onto the floor as well.

What if Digbeth…

Eastside Projects and Grand Union are developing a cultural placemaking strategy for Digbeth.

A landscape image of a dilapidated industrial space. The large space has a dirty wooden floor, brick walls and exposed wooden rafters. The ceiling is very tall and natural light floods in through the many glass-less windows.

Working with the City

Grand Union is committed to a considerate and collaborative approach to urban regeneration. We recognise that to create an urban environment that is welcome, inclusive and supportive for everyone, we need to create many opportunities for community-led planning.

The Growing Project

The Growing Project is a transformative community programme using art making, gardening, cooking and simply being together as a way of offering support and friendship to people passing through difficult times. Our project partners include organisations who support vulnerably-housed people and those experiencing crisis.
