Junction Works is our live capital project that is working to position and embed artists and our wider community, at the centre of the regeneration that is happening in Digbeth.
We firmly believe that a strong artistic community is an essential part of an inclusive city and that publicly accessible spaces dedicated to culture are crucial for both residents and visitors.
The aim for this venue will be to co-create a lively community cultural facility that is open and accessible, welcoming all to experience art through experiencing gallery exhibitions, taking part in workshops and events, sharing food, and enjoying green space outdoors. We will transform this once derelict heritage building to include exhibition, meeting & events spaces, a community café, kitchen and garden, accessible artist studios, and a changing places toilet facility.
After successfully raising £675,000 from Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership, Public Artist Ltd, and Stoford Developments, Phase 1 Works were completed in 2022, providing four new offices for creative businesses.
Grand Union is now working to secure a further £2m funding to progress Phase 2 works, which will see the opening of the ground floor of the building, including exhibition and event space, a community café, and a garden in the courtyard.
If you would like to find out more, look around the building, or support our work please contact our Director Cheryl Jones.
