Cultural Partnership

Who is leading the bid?

The bid is being led by Birmingham Cultural Partnership (BCP). 

We are a group of individuals representing the interests of the cultural sector in Birmingham. The BCP is made up of representatives from the museums, galleries, heritage, libraries, arts, events and sports sectors as well as regional bodies such as Advantage West Midlands, the Learning and Skills Council, the independent arts sector and higher education.

We are working to:

Get more local people involved in culture (including arts, libraries, music, dance museums and galleries)

Help more local residents experience our world class cultural venues such as Town Hall and Symphony Hall

Make connections between the most disadvantaged communities in our city, through cultural activities

Make sure there is plenty happening in our local communities for residents to get involved with and enjoy 

Encourage visitors to come to Birmingham to experience what we have to offer 

We are passionate about this city and, working in partnership with cultural organisations, groups and individuals across the city, we have taken full responsibility for the Birmingham bid for UK City of Culture.
