About Us

Magazine Studios is a part of a recent expansion for the Nerve Centre.

The Nerve Centre was established in 1990 as a focal point for youth culture in Derry/Londonderry and is considered one of the UK’s most dynamic and innovative multimedia centres. The Nerve Centre promotes creative collaboration and fusion between artists and provides a cultural outlet for many young people who feel excluded from what is traditionally regarded as the ‘arts sector’.

The Nerve Centre believes that the establishment of Magazine Studios will act as a catalyst for it’s enterprise and innovation strategy by promoting an increased number of new business start-ups, encouraging collaborative projects, facilitating knowledge transfer and supporting digital content companies from the social economy sector.

The capital development at Magazine Studios was supported by Invest NI, Derry City Council and NITB while the purchase of the building was supported by DCAL, Ilex and the National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
