Derby QUAD also referred to as QUAD Derby or simply QUAD is an arts centre in Derby, United Kingdom, first opened on 26 September 2008. It has a steel-and-glass design by Bath architects Feilden Clegg Bradley, which was considered controversial when it was chosen by Derby council cabinet in 2004.[1] QUAD provides an art gallery, two cinemas, artists’ studios, and a cafe bar.[2] The centre also has available spaces in which people can create their own artwork.[3]
QUAD is a cinema, gallery, cafe, and workshop space that anyone can use. QUAD connects people and businesses to art and film for entertainment, education, and participation. There are artists' studios which the public can hire, and a BFI Médiathèque, in which visitors can watch various videos. QUAD offers creative courses for adults and children.
