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.

Current Exhibitions

QUBE Groups

Qube Groups is an exhibition of the work produced by the two Qube groups Paintable and Life Drawing.

Paintable have been working on abstraction projects and have called their work Abstraction et Cetera. For the last seven sessions, members Paintable, have been exploring abstraction.

Much of the work in this part of the exhibition comes from an investigation of a particular landscape.

The group began by spending one morning last November, a cold but sunny day, on Middleton Road, out on the other side of the A5. They walked, looked, sketched, made notes, took photographs and collected bits and pieces that were visually interesting.

Over the following six sessions, they explored this information in several different ways, using a range of media and approaches. You can see some of the results here.

Their work has increased in painterliness, and their ability to be critical -in an analytical, not a judgemental, way - both of their own and each others’ work, has also greatly developed.

Life Drawing have called their exhibition Drawing and painting from Life the exhibitors attend regualr life drawing sessions held at Qube on Thursday evenings.
