Sculptural Light Wands by Peter Fink
A landmark beacon visible from across the city centre, the light wands act as 'three graces' to the Rotunda building, mediating the impact of its height. Designed specifically to announce Bullring's entrance at Rotunda Square, at the junction of St Martin's Walk and New Street and the High Street, the Light Wands take the form of three coloured carbon fibre masts rising 20, 25, and 30 metres in height to resemble glowing plant like structures.

Water Feature by Gross Max
Water will cascade down the walls of three gigantic glass cubes of the spectacular new water feature by landscape architects Gross Max. Each cube contains a different coloured lightbox surrounded by stacked glass walls, with water flowing into a still slate pool at the base of each cube. Ranging in size from 2, 3 and 5 metres in height they form a stunning centrepiece in St Martin's Square. Lit in constantly changing hues of pink, orange and blue, the sculpture is visible both from The Light Wands and the markets area.

Glass Artwork Entrance Feature by Martin Donlin
This vibrant contemporary 120m2 glass mural marks the New Street Station entrance to Bullring designed by architectural glass artist Martin Donlin, who won the competition to find the most inspirational design. Visible both day and night Donlin's glass artwork takes the form of an abstract interpretation of Bullring itself, made up of bold images in blues, greens, reds and yellows achieved by a combination screen printing and hand painted detail.

Bronze Bull by Laurence Broderick
Sculptor Laurence Broderick's 5 tonne bronze bull stands as a 2.2m high symbol of Bullring's significance to Birmingham. The sculpture takes the form of a massive bull turning in motion which greets visitors as they enter the main gateway to Bullring, just off Rotunda Square. One of the largest bronze animal sculptures in the UK, the piece is modelled on the Hereford Bull, an animal with strong historical associations to Birmingham. A symbol and icon of civic pride it is hoped that the people of Birmingham may adopt the bull as their 21st Century mascot.

St Martin's Church
Highlighting Bullring's heritage is an important aspect of the arts and public spaces programme. The Birmingham Alliance has contributed £1.9 million towards the restoration of St Martin's Church to bring the 18th century landmark back into focus at the heart of the city. New feature lighting reveals the fully restored neo-gothic splendour of the church, to provide an historic counterpoint to its dramatic modern neighbours.

A 5 tonne bronze statue of Nelson, dating from 1809, the first public sculpture to commemorate his death, is now fully restored. After 40 years of neglect on the outskirts of the old Bull Ring it has been reinstated to take its historically prominent position within the Bullring site. The statue is the earliest known public work by Sir Richard Westmacott, one of the Victorian era's most famous sculptors and is located on the mid level terrace overlooking St Martin's Square, on a newly created Portland stone plinth.

24 Hour Route Railings by Anu Patel
The new 24-hour pedestrian route connecting New Street Station to Moor Street Station, provides an important link across this section of the city. The images on each of the Intermittent panels tell Birmingham's 'stories' from rural settlements moving through into contemporary industries, cultural life and commerce. Designed by local artist, Anu Patel, it is a response to the vibrant multicultural life of this international 24-hour city.

The Small-scale artworks
Two text-based installations were designed by Free Form to engage Bullring visitors in a journey of discovery and to literally express young people's part in their city's future. Managed by Birmingham artist Lenora Minto, working alongside Free Form artist Isabella Lockett, they devised a series of workshops with schoolchildren to generate images and words describing the development of Bullring. These have been made into bricks and installed as a craft trail within the fabric of the buildings.

The works of local poets, Alison Solomon and Simon Pitt -winners of the artist and writer competition held as part of the programme - are carved into the stone pilasters along St Martin's Walk. UB40 were approached to choose the lyrics from 'Sing Our Own Song' which appear adjacent to the water feature in St Martin's Square.

Site Recordings
As a unique record, artists Faith Pearson, Lee Lapthorne, Sheilagh Jevons, Alicia Dubnycki and architect James Utting have been commissioned to record the process of building Bullring. Each artist has approached the commission in a different way from model making, fabric prints, photomontage, and paintings in watercolour and oils.
