Hereford Creatives’ Community
ACCESSING ART FOR EVERYONE
Who we are and what we do
We are a group of people working in or connected to the creative and cultural sector in Herefordshire or neighbouring areas. We are using empty shops in Hereford city centre to develop exhibitions, interactive events and taster sessions in a variety of media. Our long term aim is to show what such facilities could bring to the city if provided on a long term basis, either in permanent facilities or by working with landlords to use a rolling programme of empty shops.
You don’t need to be an artist, freelancer or cultural worker to be part of the group, only to be interested in what we are trying to achieve – and perhaps with your own ideas to contribute!
Below are links to various activities that we are planning. These will be constantly updated as the project develops through January, February and March 2025.
exhibitions
Displays of art and craft works produced by local local and visiting artists.
WORKSPACES
Book a workspace above the shop for use any day.
workshops
Opportunities for creatives, whether they are beginners or already practicing, to learn new ideas and techniques from the experts.
skill coaching
For small groups that want to learn or widen knowledge of specific skills.
renditions
Poetry, music, recitations delivered by enthusiasts to an invited audience.
debates
Exchanging views relating to the art culture
Artlandish has been made possible through funding from the UK Government’s Herefordshire UKSPF Cultural Development Grant Scheme; Hereford City Council,
The Elmley Foundation, The Mumford Memorial Trust and Herefordshire Community Foundation
If you’re interested in having and using facilities for artists and makers (with or without affordable housing) in Hereford City Centre it would be really helpful if you could complete our survey of 21 questions. With the exception of one addition, the questions are identical to those we asked in December 2020, which eventually led to Artlandish. By comparing the two sets of answers we will be better able to work with the council, shop owners and others to create the facilities which people would like to see.
