Temporary Contemporary

Temporary Contemporary began as a partnership with Kirklees Council and the School of Art, Design and Architecture (now School of Arts and Humanities) at the University of Huddersfield to stimulate arts and cultural activities in vacant spaces in Huddersfield. 

The project included programming creative and cultural activities in the Market Gallery in Queensgate Market, empty stalls within the market itself and utilising vacant retail units on the Piazza.

We understand that temporary access to space can help turn an idea into a reality, it can provide the test bed for innovation and that much needed freedom to develop, grow and experiment.

Kirklees Council – Arts & Creative Development Team

Phase 1 of the Cultural Heart in Huddersfield has now started and our use of meanwhile spaces in the Piazza area is now limited. A group of arts organisations remain – West Yorkshire Print Workshop, Thread Republic, The Children’s Art School and CollaborARTi – and run arts and creative activities in their units on the Piazza.

 

We try and help creative people and organisations at all stages of development and although we may not be able to offer pop-up spaces, get in touch and we can see whether there are other opportunities we can link you into. Keep in touch by signing up to our newsletter at Creative Kirklees.
