Wolverhampton Art Gallery joins Commonwealth Games activities
After the outstanding success of British Art Show 9 Wolverhampton Art Gallery is chiming in with the cultural activities around the Commonwealth Games taking place in Birmingham and the West Midlands this summer with a new exhibition - Black Country Beats.
Black Country Beats celebrates the diverse musical genres that emerged from the Black Country between the 1970s and 2000s. It spotlights a selection of iconic artists whose styles were influenced by the unique heritage of the region and by the social and political change that happened here during their formative years. The show starts with the titans Slade, who rose to fame in the early 70s, swapping their bovver boots and braces image for long hair, platforms and satin. It then features three stars from the Black Country: R&B soul superstar Beverley Knight, music producer, DJ and visual artist Goldie and legendary singer, songwriter and musician Robert Plant.
The exhibition is open from 7 May until 4 September 2022. It is free and can be seen Monday to Saturday 10.30am until 4.30pm and Sundays 11am until 4pm. Visitors can also take the opportunity to experience the art gallery's new eating space, Glaze.
