Creative arts team

The creative arts bus has arts based resources and a team of skilled activity leaders, which enable us to execute innovative projects within districts. These have included film projects, graffiti and mural projects, dance sessions and music and young band development. We also support county events such as Derbyshire Literature Festival and the Emerge Festival, which celebrates cultural diversity.

Donut Creative Arts Studios in Chesterfield offers a sustained programme of youth arts activity including youth music based work with local bands, creative music making, singing, DJ’ing, sound engineering and music recording in the 24-track digital recording studio. The centre also runs a thriving youth theatre and circus skills sessions too. 

The creative arts team each year delivers Derbyshire Young Band of the Year event, Pop Band event, Music X summer project, Uproject and supports all the district summer programmes in the county by supplying arts based sessions during their schemes.
