Soul City Arts uses the power of the arts to bring together people divided by culture, faith, and ethnicity. Unafraid to address the ‘elephant in the room’, we create work that sparks open dialogue and challenges the divides of modern society. Our programmes are defined by striking visual spectacle and immersive environments that engage all the senses.

Led by artist and curator Mohammed Ali MBE alongside a team of talented creatives, Soul City Arts is based in Port Hope — a reclaimed warehouse space in Sparkbrook, Birmingham. While our work has reached audiences across the UK and around the globe, our heart remains firmly rooted in serving local communities.

We pride ourselves on creating authentic, meaningful projects shaped by dialogue and collaboration. Many organisations claim to “deliver change,” but through our grounded approach, creative methods, and proven track record, Soul City Arts delivers real, tangible impact — when and where it matters most.

through dialogue and collaboration. What arts organization or NGO worth its salt does not claim to ‘deliver change’ these days? We feel, though, that through our rootedness in community, our working methods and our track record of successful projects, we deliver demonstrable change – when and where it counts.
