Temporary Contemporary in Huddersfield has organised a day of creativity and fun at the Piazza Centre this summer.
On Saturday 14 August between 10 am – 4 pm, there will be a range of free and low-cost demonstrations, exhibitions and workshops, showcasing some of the vibrant local art and culture coming out of Huddersfield and the wider area.
On the day the Piazza has also teamed up with Heart to support the local businesses.
Heart Angels will be at the centre, giving visitors a chance to win vouchers for the independent retailers and high street brands based there.
Temporary Contemporary is a partnership between Kirklees Council and the School of Art Design and Architecture at the University of Huddersfield.
They currently have stalls up all around the Piazza, bringing to life some of the empty lots.
From costume displays from the much-loved Huddersfield Carnival to children’s art activities, artist demonstrations, there aims to be something for everybody.

Councillor Will Simpson, Cabinet Member for Culture and Greener Kirklees, said: “There is no end to the creativity and talent in Kirklees and days like this are fantastic ways to discover what is happening on our doorstep.
“There are so many different events to inspire you, ranging from those aimed at younger children to some more suited to art enthusiasts.
“As we continue to recover and re-create our town centres, now is the time to remember and support local businesses.
“This Temporary Contemporary event at the Piazza is the perfect way to celebrate all of the creativity that surrounds us while supporting your local area.”
Temporary Contemporary’s aim is to stimulate arts and culture in vacant spaces in Huddersfield.
Covid safety measures will be in place during the day.
