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.
