Birmingham Visual Arts Coalition (B-VAC) is a collective of 15 strong and diverse artists who look at innovative and fresh ways of creating contemporary art both individually and together. B-VAC draws its ethos from the ‘schools’ of art of old, pulling like-minded individual artists together to produce unique shows of contemporary art. However, unlike the ‘schools’ of art of old B-VAC is never limited by style, medium, content or genre. B-VAC works as an umbrella heading for the shows, but acts as a promotional tool for the artists working within the coalition – with no single artist being more important than the others.
