On behalf of Artcore Gallery, the team would like to invite you to the launch of Error & Power, an exhibition featuring the work of artists in residence Naho Matsuda (@naho.matsuda) and Neale Willis (@nealewillis).
Naho and Neale began their residency with Artcore in May 2020. For Error & Power, both artists explore the strategy of creating space for chance, and the potential for mistakes and errors to shape their work, whether by design or accident.
Horticulture students at Derby College Group (DCG) are ploughing ahead with their entry into this year’s Gardeners World Live exhibition and competition at the NEC later this month.
The mature students are on the Level 3 study programme which has been specially devised by DCG Horticulture lecturer Mike Baldwin to bring together skills and knowledge in surveying, design, plantsmanship and construction - ideal for students who want to establish a gardening business.
Fancy developing your art skills with the help of the Dronfield Hall Barn's Artist in Residence? Then make sure you get involved with a new term of art classes taking place every Thursday from September.

August Programme Overview
Derby: Our City of Making, is an exciting site-specific dance production by Surtal Arts, commissioned by Junction Arts, that celebrates Derby as a 'city of making'.
Influenced by Derby's rich engineering and cultural heritage, this special dance installation brings together two of the city's oldest diverse communities, Indian and Ukrainian, in a site-specific dance powered by fusion choreography at the Museum of Making.
Join the crew from Furthest from the Sea for a FREE Bank Holiday festival taking place on Monday 30th August 2021 Cathedral Green from 10am-4pm!
Enjoy the festival on a riverside location, next to the fantastic Museum of Making in Derby. Bring a picnic, buy an ice cream, and get involved with a range of craft and workshop activities – or sit back as you’re entertained by musicians, dancers and more.
Andrew Baker, Managing Director at Baker Consultants, will be giving a presentation on Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) at the 2021 Farm Business Innovation Show in November 2021.
The Environment Bill now stands states that it is a requirement for most types of development to secure a measurable 10% gain in biodiversity. The biodiversity value of the land upon which the development is sited will be measured prior to development; developers will need to show post-development that biodiversity loss is fully compensated plus a 10% net gain.
There is so much to do this summer at Cromford Mills!
