Derby’s creative scene is driven by the people behind it, from artists and musicians to organisers, filmmakers and independent voices shaping the city. Their work, ideas and commitment play a key role in building and sustaining what happens across Derby.
Every project, event and collaboration starts somewhere, and often that begins with individuals pushing things forward in their own way. Their influence reaches beyond one space or discipline, connecting different parts of the city’s culture.
For those interested in Derby creatives, local talent and the people behind Derby’s culture, this is where those stories come together.
