People Express is a professional arts organisation, based in Swadlincote, that works primarily with and for the communities of South Derbyshire. People Express believe that everyone has creative potential.
Our job is to help create the projects and bring together the artists that will inspire and support people to take part in the arts, design and make their own artwork and use these achievements to help make positive changes to their lives and the communities around them. People Express is here to help you get involved in the arts.
Here’s up to date images of our new building, which will contain a workshop space and media suite to run exciting workshops for the community and individuals. We hopefully will be in the premises by September ready for our annual AGM on 23rd September.
