Description: The exhibition contained 109 works of painting and sculpture. 10 sculptures were displayed [summary].
Policy: The exhibition catalogue 'Foreword' states that 'in giving to the Birmingham Group the opportunity of holding its exhibition at the Birmingham Art Gallery, the Committee took into consideration the fact that while there are already in Birmingham many long established and distinguished groups of artists, none of these represents in quite the same way the endeavour of the younger members of the artistic community to find free and independent expression' [summary].
