We’re really pleased to share the news that the Swimming Without Water exhibition will be going ahead, starting next week.
The collective of artists will be using the currently unused Gala Pool at Moseley Road Baths to display their artwork. Their aim is to bring together their contemporary artwork with the space and the audience to create a unique experience.
