ArtsFest 2011


ArtsFest takes place annually in Birmingham during the second weekend of September with ArtsFest 2011 taking place on 10th and 11th September.

ArtsFest is one of the biggest, most popular urban festivals within the UK. It is also the UK’s biggest FREE arts festival, which means there are no extortionate ticket prices for any of the 600 events that make up the festival each year, because there are no ticket prices at all! This means that you can see ballet to Bhangra, dub poetry to indie rock, without having to spend any money or queue for hours for tickets! What’s more, as an urban festival – it comes without the mud!

ArtsFest celebrates the West Midland region’s astounding wealth of creative talent and shows the West Midland’s region as the bustling cultural centre it is. It features performances, workshops, exhibitions, installations, talks and screenings, across the performing, visual and digital arts genres. It provides artists with the chance to showcase and celebrate their work and to raise their profile with the large numbers of visitors the festival attracts. Visitors get to sample everything from traditional to cutting edge arts and entertainment, all free of charge. ArtsFest is a festival for the young and old alike and we really do stick by our motto that there is something at ArtsFest for everybody to enjoy!
