The Ikon Gallery is a gallery in Birmingham, England.

It is known in the international art scene for being a leading contemporary art center.

Ikon Gallery was born in 1964 from the idea of a group of artists, who declared that "Ikon is intended as an antithesis to exclusive establishments and art galleries ... it was formed due to the need for an accessible place in to which the exchange of visual ideas can become a familiar reality ".

To date, the gallery's program features international artists from all over the world. Inside the exhibition spaces are exhibited works that travel between all media such as sound, film, mixed media, photography, painting, sculpture and installation.

The gallery offers a surprising program of exhibitions and performances with also the off-site program in which the relationships between art, artists and the public develop outside the walls of the galleries.

Ikon's exhibitions vary in scale, duration and location.

In Birmingham, Ikon Gallery is also a reference point for education and didactic activities that promote understanding of the art itself through events, readings, workshops and seminars of all kinds.
