    Royal Birmingham Society Arts. If you love art, great for a morning or afternoon visit. Regular exhibitions and free entry. Lots of local eating places nearby. Nearest train station Jewellery Quarter or Snow Hill.

    Great small gallery over three floors in a nice old part of Birmingham. I saw the Prize Exhibition 2022 and spent ages being fascinated by the remarkable array of different styles and media. The quality of the work was extremely impressive. Well worth a visit. Admission is free but the experience certainly deserves a donation.

    Such a lovely Gallery to visit, the standard of work is exceptional and I loved the variety of artistic mediums too. The prices for the art are really good and reasonable as well the prices of the arts and craft in the Craft Shop. The shop has some lovely handmade items too from local crafts people. It is free entry so is a must visit gallery in Birmingham!

    Our visit coincided with the Print Prize exhibition which was fantastic to wander around. We'll be looking out for many of the print makers in future. Thank you very much.

    Fantastic free art gallery, with a surprisingly high quality level of art work in the summer exhibition that rivalled the summer exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts I went to a couple of weeks ago in London, great curating! I would definitely recommend this art gallery. Went here after a visit to the pen museum and 1000 Trades independent pub, so it made a fabulous day out today despite the rain and I will be back soon to see what other exhibitions are on.

    I visited on a Saturday afternoon. The gallery is quiet and modern-looking on the inside. The staff were very friendly and encouraging, and chatted happily about pieces they personally enjoyed from the current exhibition (their Summer Exhibition featuring mixed media artwork). There is a lift as well as stairs. Toilets are available. The shop on the ground floor has something for everyone, from cute postcards to tote bags to ceramics and jewellery. The shop accepts cards. Admission is free but a £5 donation is encouraged, which can be paid in cash or by scanning a QR code which directs you to pay online.

    Wonderful gem of a gallery, featuring contemporary works and a serious contribution to the art world. I really enjoyed the work on show and as an artist I really enjoy the gallery’s enthusiasm and professionalism. today’s ‘artists talks’ were a real insight into the work on display and thoroughly welcome.

    I love this gallery. It always has interesting exhibitions - the current one is a photography exhibition. There is some nice jewellery and pottery in the shop too. Always worth a visit.

    My first visit and a great gallery. Excellent layout, easily accessible and the summer show was first class. Some wonderful work on display at very reasonable prices. Well worth a visit.

    Lovely light airy gallery with friendly staff and a good gift shop. We saw the Birmingham Society of Artists exhibition which had a wonderful variety of fabulous pieces. Not sure what their usual style of exhibitions are but worth a visit I think

    Only one floor of exhibits. A bit disappointing although I enjoyed the works a lot.

    A small gallery in the Jewellery Quarter, it is near St Paul's Square. They have exhibitions on. Vote if you want for your favourite artwork, voluntary donation. The gallery has a history going back a few centuries, and was formerly on New Street until the end of the 20th century .

    Really enjoyed the RBSA Friends exhibition. Contemporary work now has a good presence and this beautiful gallery is a very welcoming place to be.

    Very good, some great pieces in the exhibition especially this one that looks like a photo until you get up close

    Always good... Lovely shop, and a good range of different exhibitions. This time printmakers from Aberystwyth - great. Located in a lovely and interesting part of town too.

    A gem hidden away but I was so happy to stumble across it. Hopefully, I will be back when I'm in Birmingham again.
