New Horizons: Arts Derbyshire Networking Meeting, Swadlincote

New Horizons – Cultural Placemaking

A creative networking, training and sharing social for Arts Derbyshire members. 

Cultural Placemaking can transform public spaces into vibrant, engaging environments that reflect the unique identity, history, and aspirations of a community. It involves collaborative efforts among artists, residents, and local organizations to create meaningful and inclusive places that ignite creativity, social interaction, and a sense of belonging.

At New Horizons our Panel will discuss how we can work individually and in partnership to make a positive impact on cultural placemaking and look at where local projects have worked well and where there have been challenges.

Chris Beech – Chair, Sharpe’s Pottery Heritage and Arts Trust and Dean of Higher Education at Burton College

Julie Batten – CEO, People Express
