ABOUT THE STORE

Our shop is located on Corporation Street, only a hop skip and a jump from Birmingham’s fabulously renovated New Street Station/Grand Central complex and yards away from the busy New Street shopping thoroughfare.

The city is also home to the largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite art in the world at The Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and for modern art, Ikon is an internationally acclaimed contemporary art venue and educational charity. With talents such as David Cox, Walter Langley, David Bomberg and Peter Phillips there is no shortage of talent produced from this area of England. We look forward to supporting artists of all ages with the world’s leading art brands at the most affordable prices.

We are thrilled to be open in the largest city outside the capital. Birmingham has been a pivotal city in the history of our nation and continues to be a beacon of innovation. It has a rich cultural heritage with major cultural institutions such as the City Of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Birmingham Royal Ballet, the Barber Institute of Art (Good Britain Guide’s ‘Gallery of the Year 2004’) that are a testament to the city’s vibrant artist community.

Cass Art is the UK’s leading art materials supplier. We provide the world’s best art brands at the most affordable prices, and our staff are all artists so that we can provide friendly, expert advice on all your creative projects.

Our shop is wheelchair accessible.

CASS ART BIRMINGHAM

“Love of Concrete, Tower blocks and all things Grey. I fell in love with Brutalist architecture long ago when I used to spend my hours sitting inside John Madin’s Library in Birmingham. Brutalism has a huge sense of community, its all about bringing people together after harder times.

My practice revolves around taking the normal doom and gloom when thinking of Brutalism and giving it a new lease of life in colour. Think pastels, harsh lines and all things post war Britain! Some of my influences in my practice include artists like George Shaw and John Virtue and then Architects such as Le Corbusier and Alison and Peter Smithson.

Since I started at Cass Art in 2016, my practice has evolved massively – it brought back my love for art with a vengeance after my post university limbo hit. It’s hard not to be inspired while being around artists, materials, and the fantastic stories we hear every day."
