Gallery tips for Birmingham

How the regulars do Birmingham's galleries:

• Check accessibility at Ground Floor Contemporary. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.
• Check for late openings. Some galleries open late one evening a week. After-work art is an underrated pleasure.
• Check the exhibition schedule first. A gallery is only as good as its current show. Two minutes on the website saves a wasted trip between exhibitions.
• Note the curator's name. Good curators have taste you can follow. If you loved the show, look up what else they've put together.

Good to know

Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Birmingham can take a while to appear. The 1 above are only as current as the community map. A art gallery that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 1 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
