News Update

Well, we’re ramping up the activity here at  the Edge, as we put together two great events in rapid succession (and extend another).  First up, we’ve extended the run of Heard And Not Seen at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery for a further week, so if you haven’t made it over to gallery 36 yet, you’ve got until next Sunday 29th August to do so.  The following Saturday, the 4th of September we are running Highgate Funday, which is shaping up to be a nice little event.  As well as the usual bouncy-castle type fun and frolics there will be a health zone, a sport zone and, best of all, an art zone.  The ‘art zone’ will include a 7 Inch Cinema tent, a ‘Highgate memories’ area, with contributions by Friction and Nicky Getgood, and Eastside Projects are providing some arts workshops. The Funday will be open from 12pm on Saturday 4th, in the lovely surroundings of Highgate Park on the old Moseley Road.

Shortly afterwards, from the 24th of September we are hosting the ‘Inside Out Festival’ – a ‘mini-festival’ of performance and installation, in and around the Edge.  We kick off on Friday 24th at 9pm with a ‘launch party’ featuring the harmonious wonderousness of the Wilderness of Manitoba, back to the Edge for a return visit, with another great International act during the evening – watch this space for details. This will be followed by a weekend of activity with ‘art trails’ around Digbeth, including transformed 50 bus stops, mysteriously appearing and disappearing installations, performances and interventions, and contributions by a range of artists and artists groups – full programme tba soon.

And finally, this Saturday the 28th from 6pm the Edge is hosting Dirty Bristow’s Summer Fete.  This looks like loads of fun, with lots of activity, music, standup and a fruit and veg show!  Check out the Dirty Bristow site for more details.
