Made in the Midlands
Providing a platform for new talent
In a bid to bring exciting new concepts in art and design to the general public Birmingham City University and train operator London Midland have joined forces to provide a unique platform for student talent.
Made in the Midlands is a collection of poster art produced by students at Birmingham Institute of Art & Design (BIAD), part of Birmingham City University, which has now gone on display at London Midland rail stations around the region, including Birmingham’s Snow Hill.
The exciting collection features 15 designs ranging from a range of disciplines, including photography, graphics, textiles, architecture, painting and illustration.
The work represents the diversity of talent that makes the region a leader in the creative industries – and millions of people will have the chance to view the public exhibition and comment on the work.
This is a unique opportunity for students to have their work appraised in a busy, public environment. Passengers who rarely visit galleries or exhibitions have the chance to view work on platforms and in booking halls as part of their daily lives.
