Becoming a charity...

In 1984 Junction 28 became a registered charity based in the New Street Centre, South Normanton.

At this time they acquired the Picture Palace, also in South Normanton, enabling them to stage more performing arts based projects including original work, touring plays and pantomimes.

The popular Palace Arts Club provided children and young people with the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of creative workshops.

Growing across the district...

Officially becoming Junction Arts

During the 1990s Junction 28 broadened its geographical remit after being awarded a grant from the district council. It was at this time that the organisation moved to the Markland Campus in Creswell and changed its name to Junction Arts.

Throughout the 90s they delivered activities across the whole of Bolsover district and during the later years of the decade had been invited to lead on some significant Public Art commissions.

The boom of festivals and public art...

In the first decade of the new millennium Junction Arts continued to flourish and take on new challenges, not least another move. At the end of 2004 they had moved again, to the old Grammar School on Langwith Road, Shirebrook.

The Bolsover Lantern Parade became established as an important local event and Public Art became a key theme within the programme, resulting in a number of major artworks across the district. Creative education and learning projects were also an important part of the delivery.
