Some words from our Ambassador Joe Lycett, local comedian and supporter of the arts:
“I’ve long said that Birmingham’s art scene is one of the most exciting and unique in the country.
I’m biased, of course, but I truly think there’s an approach that seems underground, rebellious, inclusive, funny and ultimately unfazed by the rules of the traditional art world. Birmingham Open Studios is a very cool and inspiring opportunity to see that art where it’s made – in kitchens, living rooms, garden sheds and beyond – that proves that anyone can and should make art.”
Joe Lycett did a fantastic job in his first year as our ambassador, helping promote the event via his huge following on social media. He also made some of our artists’ event when he visited their studios, and purchased artworks from them directly.
Joe has recently agreed to continue his role of ambassador for 2024. We look forward to his energy and support for our 7th event.
