Kajans was set up in March 1990 by a small group of entrepreneurs who recognised the potential for an independent organisation that could be flexible in serving the local community. 

Since the organisation was established the priorities for Kajans have remained stable, with an ethos, focused on providing access to education and creative opportunities for everyone. For a sample of the art events that Kajans run, commission and promote please see the links on the left and for the latest programmes see latest news.

Kajans is funded by Arts Council England, Birmingham City Council, Connexions, Equality and Human Right Commission, Heritage Lottery Fund and a range of other funding agencies on a project by project basis. Kajans is also a founder member of the CISC organisation which opperates within the cultural industries in North Birmingham. Kajans is based at Albert Hall, Aston which was constructed in 1899.
