Coventry artists are being reminded – again! – of the masses of changes going on in the city at the moment.
In the latest change, Depot Studios is changing its name to Herbert Media to match its move to the redeveloped Jordan Well site.

The City Council's Arts and Heritage service media service has now moved from its Bond Street building to temporary offices at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.
The former lecture theatre at the gallery is being developed to house Herbert Media as part of the refurbishment of the whole building.
What’s on offer?

The new facilities will include a sound recording studio, two video edit suites and video equipment for hire, a creative IT suite and training spaces.
In addition, there will be an Arts Information Centre on a newly created top floor of the building, where there will be specialist arts resources and information for artists, groups and organisations.
Together it’s hoped Herbert Media and the Arts Information Centre will create a significant range of opportunities for everyone from newcomers to experienced artists.
