Or indeed casually interested locals? Whats On is free but has a pretty broad remit, and we could really do with something which regularly goes off the beaten track a bit more - along the lines of Venue in Bristol or The List in Glasgow. We produce a regular 7inch listings mailout (archived <a HREF="http://7inch.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">here</A>) and places like CiB and woib are trying to fill the gap, but to really do the job I think it'll need to happen in print as well as online, and have a strong editorial stance like this place - not just dependent on blurb from promoters. Here's hoping... This has been a gaping hole in Birmingham’s media for a while – how do visitors find out about interesting stuff going on here? Or indeed casually interested locals?

There's loads that CiB doesn't cover. CiB isn't really a 'What's On' and isn't meant to be anything like comprehensive. We'll try and pick things out occasionally but for that sort of thing you'd be best picking up a copy of What's On and starting there. Or maybe a 'CiB recommends' before each weekend would be a good idea. Thoughts anyone? Hi Amanda. There’s loads that CiB doesn’t cover.

I am an Australian artist visiting Birmingham for 4 days to see relatives. Just wanted to say that I found this blog when I searched for info on art to check out while I'm here, and it seems to be a good resource for visitors. This "links" post is a useful way to locate some shows to catch, but as Birmingham is a biggish city, I'm wondering if there is more around that isn't covered? Is there anyway you could make "what's on" easier for a visitor to find quickly? Hi! I am an Australian artist visiting Birmingham for 4 days to see relatives.
