Before it became defunct in around 2006 Arts Central was the arts, culture and entertainment website for the West Midlands region. The website was managed by Audiences Central, the audience development agency for the West Midlands.
On October 1st, 2010 the then neglected and empty website was given a new owner who intends to bring the site back to life.
That taken from the About page here. Found via a link on BCC’s Art Service page. Sounds exciting, or at least it does if you read it in the style of the voiceover at the start of The A Team.
