Last Saturday evening, following a unique combination of food and community crowdfunding, participants at Design Week Birmingham’s 2nd annual BhamFEAST awarded Kuumba Community Arts a grant supporting its Teen Design Academy initiative.
“The idea behind Birmingham’s Design Week is to be as multi-disciplinary as possible, to inspire those who do creative work, and to educate those who appreciate it. That ends up creating a wide spectrum of subject matter between thoughtful academic lectures and quirky screen printed goods. But I think creative people like to be exposed to a variety of events and are often inspired by professions different from their own.”
