The Derbyshire Marketing Grants will prioritise new and emerging artists from Derbyshire and offer support to help market and develop the companies with the aim of boosting the county’s creative economy. 

These grants provide a much-needed boost to creative individuals to enable them to expand and develop by funding vital marketing activity that they may not otherwise be able to afford.

Design Factory, a not-for-profit organisation committed to supporting the development and success of designer/makers in the East Midlands, administers these grants on behalf of the Derbyshire Arts Partnership. DAP is made up of Derbyshire County Council and the county’s borough and district councils.
