The Culture Question: What does Birmingham need?

Not least this open invitation for anyone who has an interest in the cultural expression of the people of Birmingham:

What further cultural and arts facilities might be needed in the city centre to promote the national and global image of Birmingham?

If you have any interest whatsover in the future of the city of Birmingham in terms of its expression of our collective culture, or making the city centre just a lot more exciting and vibrant for people to experience art, design, photography, music, dance and any other form of self expression, please go and make a comment here on the question.

We (as in the bloggers of this fair city) have set up a site for the purposes of getting a dialogue going on this and other similar issues and even if you just go there and say “more photography plz” or “I’d like a child-friendly internet cafe” or “free wifi” or “stop closing all the irish pubs in digbeth so I can keep listening to the music I love” or  “something like the Mac but next to New Street Station” - whatever your idea is, and no matter how unimportant it may seem to you, if you type it in that box and hit return it ends up having (as in by law) to be considered when the people who make decisions about this place do their thinking.

It’s an open question - what does this city need in terms of culture. I’d hope to see at least 100 comments on that page by the end of the week because it is such an open question and there is no shortage of amazing people in this city.

What’s your idea ?
