About Artsfest 2010 Birmingham
The theme for this year's
Artsfest 2010 is Landscape and Heritage. This means that any artists wishing to submit their pieces to the event must keep in mind landscape and heritage when creating their work. Although artists are not paid for their contributions, they also do not have to submit any fees and instead receive a host of other benefits including an original showcase for their work. This is the perfect opportunity for artists to showcase pieces that are not usually found or seen in the West Midlands. If you are not an artist but would like to be involved in the festival, consider volunteering for the event or at least attending all three days.

It is also, of course, a very vibrant and lively city teeming with culture and many iconic British artists. This makes it a perfect location for Artsfest 2010. Birmingham's long history of product and graphic design is sure to inspire any Artsfest visitors.
