Quad, Derby

Q Arts and Metro Cinema have joined forces with Derby City Council to create a cultural partnership, which is set to reinforce Derby’s growing reputation on the national cultural scene.

Our vision is for QUAD to be a dynamic, regional centre for contemporary visual arts and media, international in outlook, yet firmly rooted in Derby’s unique cultural mix.

QUAD will be about creativity. It will promote excellence in visual arts, film and media and stimulate innovative and exciting collaborations between these and other creative enterprises. QUAD will do this through film and visual arts exhibition, production opportunities, facilities and studios, and participation, education and training programmes.

QUAD will be a welcoming and inspiring meeting place for all, bringing cultural vibrancy into the heart of Derby’s city centre.

QUAD believes that everyone should have the chance to engage as both audiences and participants in the very best of visual arts and media.
