"It is an important way to keep the stories of World War One alive.
"Being part of this experience not only reminds us of stories from the past but the funds will raise money to shape our city's future.
"A new modern piece of art will stand testament to Birmingham's legacy on the country that we can all be part of."
The Birmingham Big Art Project is a Birmingham Civic Society initiative, supported by Birmingham City Council, and has a target of raising a minimum of £2 million for a permanent artwork in the city.
