Hidden Kings Heath art gallery celebrates anniversary

Tucked away on Institute Road in Kings Heath, Nook gallery was thought as an “unachievable dream” by Gosia Weber, but the independent art gallery is now celebrating its first anniversary.

“I’ve been a designer for 15 years and I was longing for a change so during the lockdown I had a pop-up gallery and it left me with this joy,” Ms Weber said.

Nook gallery is a craft and art space showcasing “emerging and underrepresented” local artists’ work to the public. To mark its first year open a paper exhibition is running until 30 June.

“We are a little bit hidden so it’s not obvious where we are but when people walk in, it’s amazing to see their faces brighten up,” Ms Weber said.
