What does DADG do?
DADG holds regular meetings across Derbyshire. Special interest groups also meet regularly, including groups for marketing, learning, community arts, performing arts and visual arts. DADG has coordinated projects on behalf of its members, most recently a two year programme of arts marketing development and research into touring visual arts in the County which has resulted in the appointment of a curator to develop contemporary visual arts. DADG has also actively promoted arts and cultural activity to key interest groups and opinion formers including the production of an arts advocacy pack (pdf 2MB) to make the case for the cultural sector in the County.
