Art is nothing new to Birmingham. What a lot of people don’t realize is just how many places they can visit to admire the work of talented locals. Here are three must-see Birmingham Galleries to check out this month.

With summer just around the corner, life seems to be boasting a little more time and appreciating art is just another fun way to beat the heat. Exploring new places and spaces around the city could level up your night and who knows, maybe you will find that perfect gift or piece that has been missing from your home– this week I have focused on a three galleries around town to get you started.

What: Galleries located around the city of Birmingham.

When: With so many options around the ‘Ham there is something going on somewhere every night, making exploring so much easier and convenient.
