QUESTION

How hard would it be to start a new mid-sized venue in Birmingham, which could be an arts/exhibition space, a veggie/vegan cafe, a book/record store, community space/ learning space (in the daytime).... and a venue for live music and events at night?

Would be a great centre for creativity and development, a pioneering project that isn't happening elsewhere yet in the country, and surely there's the space and funding help for it?
