Join Artcore for to the opening of Playground, an exhibition featuring artists from Derbyshire Artists Residency Program (DARP).

Artists Ella Fleck, Ella Yolande, Fibi Cowley, Maggie Campbell, Sean Roy Parker, Solomon Berrio-Allen and Sonia Odedra are currently in residence at the Artcore Cabin on Osnabruck Square, where they have been engaging with the public through collaborative workshops and skill-shares.

Playground highlights the community-focused approach of DARP’s residency with Artcore, where they have been connecting with the local people of Derby and inviting them into Artcore’s space and DARP’s imagination.

The group exhibition will be a celebration and hope for the future, sharing what they have learnt through practicing and living together at DARP, and thinking about creative possibilities of Derby’s regeneration.

 

About DARP

DARP (Derbyshire Artist Resident Programme) is a co-living and co-working art practice experiment situated in a disused school in the Derbyshire countryside. Founded in January 2021, their project was born of a desire to provide artists and creative practitioners with the time and space to focus on individual projects, while simultaneously benefitting from communal living and proximity to the natural world. At DARP artists work autonomously and collaboratively, focussing on finding ways to live and practice together in a dynamic and environmentally responsible way.
