The Birmingham Central blog have picked up on this: With the Wholesale Markets moving and a large space being created it would offer a central focal point to attract visitors to the Southside area and build on the creativity of Digbeth.

Am slightly confused at the figures. Is it £180,000 for the consultancy and then a separate £200,000 to stage some art in Eastside? Or a total of £380,000 for the consultancy. Pricey whichever way the figures are worked. Dave The idea of a film centre got rolled into the consultancy as well – or so it was stated at the time. Am slightly confused at the figures.

I have talked to Jonathan Watkins about this, and it seems there will be some public consultation meetings held soon to engage a wider public debate about the options available. In the meantime I think its a little early to say things are fixed on if/what it will be, let alone where it will be sited... James Rock Hi Chris,

I was at the Art of Ideas talk and it stimulated a lot of debate about if/what a MOCA for Birmingham should be… hence the feasibility study.

I have talked to Jonathan Watkins about this, and it seems there will be some public consultation meetings held soon to engage a wider public debate about the options available. In the meantime I think its a little early to say things are fixed on if/what it will be, let alone where it will be sited…
