Pauline Latham hosted an Arts Meeting on Friday 20th November at Little Eaton Village Hall.
Around 25 different Art organisations attended. They came together to share ideas, network and to look at ways at promoting the arts in Derbyshire more widely.
A further aim of the meeting was to share ideas on possible funding for arts projects, potential venues for promoting the arts and to talk informally about the opportunities and challenges in the area.
Mrs Latham said that a Marketing Derby public-private investment initiative could work well for promoting art investment into Derbyshire.
