Herts Year of Culture 2020
Although it didn't turn out as we originally planned, HYOC2020 still provided us with plenty to celebrate and definately proved that whilst many things were cancelled, creativity certainly wasn't! Find out how Hertfordshire's creative community used art, culture and heritage to keep together, even whilst apart.
We Are Creative Hertfordshire
Following on from HYOC2020 we wanted to find a way to show that Hertfordshire's creative sector is stronger together. We Are Creative Hertfordshire, the new collective banner for art, culture and heritage in Hertfordshire.
