QUAD, Derby’s new centre for art and film, opened in September 2008. The iconic £11 million centre situated on the edge of Derby’s Market Place, offers state-of-the-art facilities and a dynamic programme that is open to everyone. With two art gallery spaces to browse, two cinema screens, workshop spaces for community arts activities and a café bar to relax over a drink or snack, QUAD offers plenty to see and do. There is also a film editing suite and a digital lab that will host courses for people looking to acquire new skills, and that can be hired out by filmmakers or creative businesses.
