The Lombard Method launched in 2009 hosting 'What Takes Place', an exhibition by Crowd 6 as part of The Event 2009. The Event is a bi-annual visual arts festival co-ordinated by Birmingham Contemporary Art Forum. The opening night also saw Mark Essen's 'And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Morris Men', a performance escorting audiences from each venue of the festival to the after party at Eastside Projects.
