Are you ready for the launch?
I’ve been to approximately four thousand launch events for creative and arts festivals in and around Birmingham over the years.
The wine is usually the same. The canapés are usually the same. Even the guests are, sadly, usually the same.
Brilliantly Birmingham is different. Each year, the launch event is a spectacular, exciting, extraordinary affair that, as I near five thousand launch events, still manages to be memorable.
Of course, the fantastic displays of jewellery all play their part, but it’s the increasingly eccentric performances by the graduating students of the School of Jewellery that will command your attention.
The stunning backdrop of the school helps, but looking up at the students, in their own jewellery, strutting along the peripheral walk ways from the atrium below has never failed to entertain me.
I won’t give too much away about what the students - and their lecturer Zoe Robertson - have conjured up for this year’s launch, but I do know that it’ll be another unmissable spectacle.
It all kicks off tomorrow night, and you can download the invitation here…you don’t have to bring it along, but PLEASE do RSVP to Prim Currie by emailing prim.currie@birmingham.gov.uk or call her on 0121 464 1887 so we know how many of you will be there.
All that remains is to tell you to enjoy yourselves…and check back here on Friday for the pictorial evidence!
