We are excited to announce our involvement in Derbyshire Makes – a new three-year programme to celebrate making in all its forms and shine a spotlight on the county’s extraordinary creative and cultural industries. It also aims to nurture people’s creative potential and build new skills across the county for the future. Led by Arts Derbyshire, there will be a countywide programme, including Mass Participation and touring activities – including walks, talks, exhibitions, events, markets, hands-on workshops, a major digital commission, an annual festival and more. Touring activity will take place on the Makory mobile bus belonging to Derby’s Museum of Making.
To enrich the countywide programme there will be 6 hubs of activity, and in the High Peak the Glossop Hub is being led by High Peak Community Arts. We have established a steering group of local and county groups and services and are setting about planning our own programme collectively to showcase the town.
The Hub will link to and enhance content from the countywide programme, animating the final 2 days (15th / 16th April) with new and existing creative work and activities for the public to take part in.
Our next step is to recruit 3 artists, preferably from or with a connection to Glossop, to lead involvement with different local groups in creating work for the final 2 days.
