The Quad will be celebrating its 17th birthday during this weekend's Derby Festé

AS part of Festé, returning on September 27, Quad are celebrating their 17th birthday with a venue-wide party.

The building will be packed full of things to do including curated films, exhibitions, and drop-in activities for children, as well as live music.

The celebrations will begin at noon with the opening of two exhibitions in the Quad Gallery. Both Henry Driver: Waterportals and Tracey Meek: A Celebration in Colour are free to explore; along with a special curation of Quad and Metro Cinema’s history along the Montage Gallery.

The participation studio on the ground floor will be relaunched shortly after, following a refurbishment; this space will now serve as a permanent drop in space for families to engage in art and play. The space will also include a showreel featuring archival Q arts material.
