This is a new opportunity for artists, makers, craftspeople, blacksmiths and jewellers to create a new Nativity set that will be shown within Birmingham Cathedral during the Christmas season – to launch in December 2025.

We want to focus specifically on this particular group of artists and makers to bring to the fore the specific trades and specialisms of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. It is an exciting opportunity to make a substantial work that reflects on themes of centring marginalised voices from across the world and bearing witness to global events. Birmingham Cathedral is entirely open to ideas and concepts and looking forward to working with artists on this important project.
