Artcore is working in partnership with Derby City Council, fostering creativity and supporting local artists

Artcore is working in partnership with Derby City Council, fostering creativity and supporting local artists and creatives. This collaboration is a step towards creating more opportunities for artists and boosting the vibrant arts scene in the city and contributing to the artistic heartbeat of Derby City.

On February 15th, last Thursday, we debuted Artcore’s rentable studio spaces for the first time. We hosted an Open Studio day, welcoming artists and creatives to visit the building, explore the studios, and discuss renting opportunities. The event was highly successful, drawing in a diverse range of individuals from across Derby, all eager to view the available spaces. Some of our spaces were rented straightaway!

Artcore Studios are Artcore’s newest rentable studio spaces for artists of all disciplines to bring their visions to life. Whether you’re a painter, sculptor, writer, or any other creative individual, Artcore Studios is your home base for exploration, growth, and community in the world of art. Beyond the physical spaces, Artcore Studios offers a gateway to something greater: connection. Here, artists have the opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals, fostering collaboration, networking, and the exchange of ideas.
