December Digbeth First Friday: Christmas Open Studios

6 December 20245–8pm

Twice a year Grand Union’s studio artists open their doors to the public for an open studio event, inviting visitors into our active art-making community. This is a great opportunity to meet and chat about the work and practices of our brilliant artists and to see inside the spaces they work from.

This time you can expect a studio tombola, live readings, and studio sales! We’re also going to be playing studio bingo, so make sure you pick up a map card from our pay bar or information point, and collect stickers or stamps from each space you visit. Full bingo cards will be entered into a raffle to win a Growing Project plant pot.

Alongside visiting our resident studio artists, you’ll be able to browse products created by our Minerva Garden Group with Modern Clay – a perfect opportunity to pick up some gorgeous Christmas presents! The Minerva Group will also be selling hot drinks, soup, samosas, and cakes up in the gallery space.

Join us for this special Christmas edition of our Open Studios, have drink or a cuppa and visit our wonderful creative community.

Then join us for a boogie at Pan Pan afterwards, where you can expect ‘a state of the arts debrief through music and dance’ from 8pm–late.

Digbeth comes alive on the first Friday of each month with exhibitions, late-night openings, special events, culture in unexpected spaces, performances, live music, street food and more.
