Big Art supporters party

Fund-raising event brings in the cash as £2m project’s final five go on show

A masquerade ball was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel to raise funds for Birmingham Big Art Project. The ball coincided with the unveiling of five concepts for the £2million public artwork, one of which will be chosen and commissioned in the New Year. The ball brought together the project’s steering group, trustees and supporters for a night of carnival fun and raised more than £3,000.
