artsderbyshire website

The artsderbyshire website is a free resource for the public to use to find out more about the arts in the county, and will also act as a place for information and support to people working, or wanting to work in the arts and creative sector.

artsderbyshire is funded and managed by Derbyshire Arts Partnership
