Temporary Contemporary

Temporary Contemporary Using empty units in for collaboration, research arts and culture in
(1)

Temporary Contemporary began in 2018 as an initiative between Kirklees Council's Creative Development and Markets Teams and the School or Art, Design and Architecture at the University of Huddersfield to stimulate arts and cultural activities in vacant spaces in Huddersfield. The initiative provided a platform for original and inspirational exhibitions, performances and research within a gallery i

n the market which was converted from a vacant market stall. Contributors to the programme included university lecturers, artists, local artisan producers, musicians, students and young people. In 2020 Temporary Contemporary started working with artists, arts organisations and students to use empty shops in the Piazza shopping center which runs alongside the market. The project continues to collaborate with different organisations to use empty shops in the Piazza.

Hey hey. We’re looking forward to seeing (and hearing) our budding MakerNoise choir again on Saturday. So fabulous to have these beautiful sounds echoing around the town. No pressure to have sung before or be able to sing. Just come and have a good old bellow!!

Come to our consultation day 31st May 2024 and help us make a real difference

MakerWorld is a creative space for children and families in the centre of Huddersfield, offering artist-led experiences to children of all ages across Kirklees.

But it needs YOUR help.

MakerWorld exists to provide extraordinary, hands-on, creative opportunities for children and young people. We want to ensure that we deliver these to everyone and really champion individual creativity and to do this properly, we’d love to hear more about how we can improve our offer for those with special educational needs and disabilities.

The SEND consultation day is a chance for you to help shape the future offer of MakerWorld. Drop in from 11am until 3pm on Friday 31st May to find out more or email [email protected] to find out more.
