The Arts Council have made proposals to radically change the arts funding system - what do you think?

West Midlands Arts have asked everyone for opinions on six questions as part of their consultation:

Benefits of change:- six main benefits have been suggested. Do you believe the proposed changes will deliver them?

A single organisation:- the Arts Council is proposing to form a single organisation. Do you support this?

Governance:- the new organisation is to be governed by the existing Arts Council. Is this proposal adequate?

National roles and regional roles:- what roles should be carried out nationally? And what regionally?

Regional Advisory Bodies:- what should be the relationship between RAB's and local or regional government?

Values and effectiveness:- what values should the new organisation espouse?
