Notes:
ArtsFest
Is it working? Who runs it? Can it take a radical change of tack?
Maybe at the least there should be a list of contact details of the participating organisations in the ArtsFest programme
Be clearer about the hierarchy of companies in the programme
Approach change in a positive way if communicating with council/business
Produce a cross artform open space
How do we make sure people know about events?
No adequate listings magazine/reviewers
Maybe we should focus on Created in Birmingham only
How do arts organisations coalesce? Should as companies set up consultation days wih Birmingham citizens?
Actions:
Set up a lobbying group and use midpoint for that Also set up a consultation about the future of artsfest Approach CiB about widening their listings/reviews
