Secret City Arts works with adults, children and communities. We make a creative response to secret wild green spaces, living stories and hidden history in the urban world.

Current Work:

The Secret Life of Birds

There’s been a fabulous response to our most recent project, The Secret Life of Birds. Over 250 people have taken part in our creative activities on the Arts Bus, perched for 7 days in different spots around the city, with funding from Birmingham City Council. Our final date will be Saturday 31st March in Northfield. Visit our project pages for more information.

Walls and Water – The Final Cut

In February 2011 The Secret City Team investigated and made a creative response to The Walls and Water of Brindley Place as part of the Culture on Your Doorstep programme.

This is the final cut of the living story and sound work curated by Pyn Stockman and edited by Marc Reck. With original music by Rich Batsford.
