We have a series of small grants to help local residents, businesses and groups start new activities and events and buy shared resources to help grow what the JQ has to offer.
Local organisations, creatives, and businesses will open their doors after hours to show you more behind the studio doors of the JQ. Discover, learn and shop as you explore the past, present and future of the JQ creatives.
From traditional jewellery trades to contemporary entrepreneurialism we want to create more opportunities for young people to discover the crafts and careers open to them across their local area.

Local organisations and businesses lead JQ Common Room.
Thanks to funding from the Birmingham Local Enterprise Partnership we are embarking on a year of action research making new things happen for and in the JQ.

We want to know what residents, visitors and businesses think about the JQ at the start of our activity, during our programme and at the end of our first year. This helps us to know what we should focus our efforts on and meet new people to get involved!
