The Public, Arts centre and theatre in West Bromwich, England
The Public features a black metal exterior with pink-framed windows across its rectangular structure, containing multiple galleries and performance spaces across multiple levels.
Opening in 2008 after construction delays and budget overruns, the £72 million building project originated from Jubilee Arts' 1994 community development initiative.
The center provided exhibition spaces for contemporary artists, including Tracey Emin, while maintaining dedicated areas for local artistic development and community gatherings.
The facility housed a 250-seat theatre, conference rooms, office spaces for 30 businesses, and multiple exhibition areas before its transformation into a college in 2014.
The building's interior contains suspended pods connected by a winding ramp system designed to guide visitors through various digital art installations.
