Launch of New Artsderbyshire Website: Get into the Arts in Derbyshire
Derbyshire, UK (PRWeb) March 21, 2007 -- A new website is being launched this week that helps publicise and highlight all the arts events, venues, artists and arts clubs and societies throughout Derbyshire and Derby City. The artsderbyshire website is a free resource for the public to use to find out more about the arts in the county, and will also act as a place for information and support to people working, or wanting to work in the arts and creative sector.
The website can be visited at http://www.artsderbyshire.org.uk and has been designed to be accessible to the entire community of web users.
The new artsderbyshire website features individual artists, arts organisations, arts events and arts venues.
Artists in the county can use the site to find more information about opportunities for training, access to funding, venues, and to sign up for a newsletter tailored to the needs of arts practioners.
Artsderbyshire is already proving useful to match up artists with events organisers. Helen Amoako organises the Eco Schools conference, and she has used artsderbyshire to identify potential artists to participate in her event.
Helen comments, "I was trying to find artists to lead recycled art workshops at our Eco Schools conference. I had a look at the artsderbyshire website, it's a really useful resource. I found a number of possible artists on there and emailed them directly."
The website also provides schedules of forthcoming events which can be searched by location, date or type of event.
"This is an exciting way to get into the arts in Derbyshire," says Councillor Bob Jaynes, Derbyshire County Council. "Instead of producing a print brochure of what's on, we've created a living website. It features individual artists, guides to what's on, and free e-newsletters."
"By including information about a range of arts activities, the site will give equal profile to both smaller and larger organisations. We will help to raise the awareness of many community and non-professional events and organisations which have traditionally struggled for visibility."
Access to the artsderbyshire website is free, and is fully searchable on the Internet. It has been designed to develop the creative economy in Derbyshire, and to provide guidance in areas such as:
- How to find out about performances, festivals and other arts events
- How to develop an artistic business
- Sources of funding in the arts
- How to get involved in volunteering in the arts
There will be series of artsderbyshire launch events across the county, taking place at :
The Beetroot Tree, Draycott - 20 March 2007
St John Street Gallery, Ashbourne - 26 March 2007
Sharpe's Pottery, Swadlincote - 27 March 2007
Gallerytop, Matlock - 28 March 2007
The Voicebox, Derby - 2 April 2007
Further launch events will be scheduled for Buxton, Kilburn, Bolsover, and Chesterfield.
