Creative Durham
Creative activities at grassroots level, promoting Durham as a place where creative people can live and work and encouraging people to express themselves and their communities through culture and, in turn, the development and expansion of the creative and cultural sectors within the region. Inspiration for these activities will come from the stories of Durham's past innovators and pioneers and existing creative practitioners.
