Qube is a fully accessible creative centre which
acts as a forum for ideas, a place to involve everyone, a show space
for new art work,
a gallery for emerging and established artists and a link
to other centres of arts learning and practice.
We provide the first Arts & Health focused centre in the
West Midlands, challenging attitudes and involving new audiences.
As well as the Qube Gallery we also house as part of ICT Graphics a multimedia department that runs courses in creative technologies as well as taking on commissions and providing resources for artists and designers.
The last year has seen us develop partnerships with galleries in other rural areas of Europe. This has seen the exchange of exhibitions with Museo Anton in Candas, Asturias, Spain and the major European touring exhibition Extramuros - Art Outside the Walls.
