Visited the Ikon Gallery yesterday, it was a real treat! Really enjoyed the Donald Locke exhibition. The gallery staff are so friendly and knowledgable, everyone I spoke to was very appreciative and enthusiastic about the work on show. I had a lovely conversation with Sonia Bhamra who is an amazing artist and photographer in her own right. Can’t wait to visit again.

Donald Locke exhibition at the Ikon Gallery 😁 First time at a his cool gallery 😁 Easy trip getting to and great design with both old and modern architecture 😁 The exhibits really stand out on the white walls 😁 Knowledgeable people in attendance who were willing to discuss the artwork. Fascinating exhibition 😁 Great little bookshop too. Free entry but donations gratefully accepted 😁

I think that this gallery probably has a relatively small collection and their reliant on visiting artist exhibitions for the majority of what they show. Arts are very personalized and you may really enjoy the current exhibit. It wasn’t a very good match for me. I would recommend that you. Check the website before you make the trip to make sure it’s going to be something that you’ll enjoy. There is a lot of construction in downtown. Birmingham and parking is really a bit of a nuisance. The gallery is free
