About
TROVE is a contemporary art gallery whose programme rotates month by month. Since its launch in October 2009 TROVE has shown artists from all around the world from all different stages in their careers.
TROVE’s Director, Charlie Levine, says that ‘the programme tries to reflect what is happening now; we never programme further than 6 months in advance to make sure we continue to exhibit current trends and focus on current topics in the contemporary art world as well as work with new up and coming artists.’
Located in a heritage site, TROVE can be found in the Engine Room of Birmingham’s old Science and Industry Museum, whose collection moved just before 2000 into Millennium Point. Prior to the Museum the site was home to Elkington Silver Factory, the first silver-plating factory in the world. Now re-named as Newhall Square, the gallery is part of an ever evolving part of the Jewellery Quarter just five minutes walk from Birmingham’s city centre.
Since it’s launch TROVE have worked with over 150 local, national and international artists that have created, exhibited and performed as part of TROVE’s programme.
TROVE have realised over 40 shows in the wonderful TROVE home, the Old Science Museum, and in offsite projects, with venues including Curzon Street Station, Birmingham’s Municipal Bank, mac birmingham, Edible Eastside, DownStairs Gallery, FarGo, The Burlington Fine Art Club, Coexist and ARC.
TROVE is an independent art gallery who have worked with Fierce Festival, Hereford Photography Festival, Hedge Enquiry, Minnie Weisz Studio, Museum of Lost Heritage, Birmingham Architects Association, Birmingham City Council, Clarke Gallery, Birmingham City University and Crowd 6.
