Have you left it last minute for your office Christmas party?

Ikon hosts a number of events at this years Birmingham Literature Festival which runs from 3-12 October.

Since 2009 Ikon has been actively promoting the idea of a new museum of contemporary art in Birmingham, believing that this city – the largest city in the UK besides London – should offer much more in terms of visual arts provision. The first part of a feasibility study was undertaken and a central location identified, through the support of Birmingham City Council,  whilst overwhelming enthusiasm for the project was expressed by local residents.
