Cllr Martin Mullaney comes to visit Obama…
Birmingham has a new Cabinet member of the Council for Culture – Cllr Martin Mullaney from the Lib Dems, who began his post this Monday, 18 May 2009. So on Wednesday, we met at the Museum and Art Gallery and I took him round the show. So far the project has raised almost £100k in PR for the City of Birmingham, BMAG, all the sponsors, Rhubarb and Flowers and of course Nadav… Not bad for a project done in record time on the smallest imaginable amount of money and a group of supporters who generously gave time and services. And so far, in circulation figures, the newspapers and magazines its been published in have gone to six million people…. Never mind the internet….
Cllr Mullaney is an interesting fish. He runs a comedy club, rides a Lambretta, owns a Parka and has set up a club for young people who are tagged and use grafitti as a form of communication. More, he listens to what people are telling him. So what way will the arts go now, in terms of what is and isn’t supported by the Council. Watch this space and other Birmingham blogs for more on what he’s up to.
