2019 is the bicentenary of the visionary art critic, writer, artist and social reformer John Ruskin. To mark this landmark year, numerous organisations are presenting Ruskin exhibitions, displays and conferences. We’re delighted to celebrate the legacy of Ruskin and will open Highbury’s doors as part of Heritage Open Days and Birmingham Heritage Week.
Highlights include:
- ‘Art after Nature’ – a Birmingham School of Art ‘Ruskin-themed’ exhibition
