Enjoy Birmingham’s Finest Art Galleries in the Evening with the Free Art Bus
Thursday 3 December 2009, 5pm – 9pm
Three of Birmingham's leading art galleries are offering a free Art Bus and will be open late until 9pm on Thursday 3 December.
Building on the success of similar events over the past three years, Ikon Gallery, the Barber Institute of Fine Arts and the RBSA Gallery are once again teaming up to run Galleries Night and the free Art Bus service, helping people to travel between the galleries in comfort and without the worries of parking or using public transport.
Each venue is staying open until 9pm and so it's a unique opportunity for people to enjoy the exhibitions and collections after finishing work. Hourly guided tours will take place at all three galleries, and a free glass of wine or soft drink awaits all visitors.
Ikon Gallery's Marketing Manager Rebecca Small said, “We are inviting people to indulge themselves in a unique evening of art. The transport between the venues and all the tours are free. It's a one-off chance to see three fabulous and very different galleries and their exhibitions and collections on one night.”
The Art Bus will leave the Barber Institute on the hour every hour from 5pm, stopping in Broad Street (bus stop nearest Oozells Street) for Ikon. It will leave Broad Street at 25 minutes past the hour and stop at Brook Street for the RBSA, departing from there at 5.40pm, 6.40pm, 7.40pm and 8.40pm. The last bus will leave the Barber at 9pm and travel back to Broad Street for 9.20pm.
