We may have cancelled our annual Superhero Picnic in the Park due to Covid-19, but now we are going virtual! For this year’s event, instead of us all flocking to our local parks, we invite you to join Derby Parks online for a free, fun-filled day as we celebrate in true superhero style with our new Superhero Picnic at Home!
As part of #Reimagine2020, get involved in a fantastic FREE online project, perfect for all ages, from home as a family!
Family Creatives is a project in association with Derby Theatre, Artcore and Wrongsemble.

John Newling will be exhibiting in Artcore Gallery later this year, but in this period between then and now we have started working with him on a blog called 'The Sharing Of Uncertainty.' The blog explores the idea of reconstruction and also gives you an insight into his latest project, Dear Nature which is on display at IKON Gallery, Birmingham. The design process has been very rewarding and we are excited to share this new collaboration with you this month, so do stay tuned!
Error & Power Residency commenced this May with our two Artists In Residence: Neale Willis and Naho Matsuda! Over the last 4 weeks, they have developed a body of work, explored various ideas and mediums, and found ways in which to adapt to a Stay At Home Residency.
We are happy to announce the launch of The Hatchery Residency, a program supported by Artcore.
Born in Lockdown – a place where nothing we see is unknown, The Hatchery is a place where new things are produced.

In these testing times, we were disappointed that we weren't able to hold our planned Artisan & Producers' Market on the 7th June.
However, that doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on your usual shopping experience, as you will soon be able to shop for your favourite products in our ‘VIRTUAL MARQUEE’. We’ve invited our local craft makers and sellers into our virtual marquee where you'll be able to shop for original, high quality products and gifts from the comfort of your own home!
