Derby is a city of culture and culture will lie at the heart of a transformed city centre. Our vision is to create a diverse cultural offer with something to offer everyone.
The aim will be to create a strategic network that joins up a revitalised Market Place with the Museum of Making, the Cathedral, Becketwell and the Museum and Art Gallery.
This Cultural Heart area will be supported by the development of a ‘Creative Quarter’ within the historic core. Here creative industries, artists’ studios and maker spaces, alongside a diverse mix of complementary uses such as bars, restaurants, galleries, workshops and residential, will help to bring neglected historic buildings back to life and restore vibrancy to frail streets.
We want Derby to be first choice for artists and creative people, with a vibrant cultural offering that reflects the experiences of the city’s residents and where everyone feels inspired to participate in culture.
Under this theme we discussed:
Transformation through Culture
UK City of Culture Competition
Hippodrome
Cultural Heart and associated projects
Creative Quarter
Library, Museum and Art Gallery
