Artcore’s learning programme aims to discover, inspire and encourage people of all ages and abilities to engage with arts and culture. As an arts charity rooted in our diverse Derby community, Artcore aims to foster a nourishing environment for everybody to grow and learn new skills, and to nurture the next generation of local artists from early years to adulthood.
