The School of Art, Bournville (formerly Bournville College of Art and Bournville Centre for Visual Arts but also known as Bournville School of Art) was an art school in Birmingham, England. It was located at Ruskin Hall on Linden Road in the area of Bournville. It is part of Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD) at Birmingham City University, having merged with the university (then Birmingham Polytechnic) in 1988. The school was refurbished for £6 million in 2002 and reopened on 21 October 2002, precisely 100 years after the foundation stone for Ruskin Hall was laid. It is home to the International Project Space, and is the site of Birmingham's annual Creative Partnerships exhibition, a showcase of contemporary and visual art produced by local school students. The centre was the subject of controversy in 2008 regarding an exhibition honouring the work of author J. G. Ballard, which included sexually explicit images (described as "heavily pornographic" by a local councillor) and the wreckage of a car. Alumni of the school include photographer Richard Billingham, artists Roger Hiorns and Donald Rodney, illustrator John Shelley, video artist Marty St. James, and actress Marjorie Yates. From 2013, the School's courses moved to Birmingham City University's new Parkside Building in Birmingham city centre, with the Bournville site becoming home to the University's International College.〔http://www.bcu.ac.uk/about-us/maps-and-campuses/school-of-art-bournville〕 ==See also== *Arts in Birmingham *Education in Birmingham 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bournville Centre for Visual Arts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
