Following more than two years of negotiations, Derwent Valley Council have signed an agreement with Salamanca Arts Centre (SAC) allowing SAC and Derwent Valley Arts (DVA) to utilise the The Barracks building in Willow Court.
The agreement will enable the commencement of an on-going community arts and cultural events program and develop a strong ongoing arts presence in the area, helping continue activation of the Willow Court precinct.
