Our Guides
Top 3 artworks
Explore the city through three of its finest works of art, as chosen by our Jane.
Our Guides
A street art pub crawl
Five city centre pubs where what’s been created with cans, brushes and rollers is as much of a draw as what’s pulled from the casks.
Our Guides
A city centre gallery trail
Head out on a crawl of Sheffield’s major art galleries and the independent art spaces that sit alongside them in the city centre.
S1 Artspace
An artist-led gallery on the Park Hill estate, responsible for one of Sheffield's most exciting contemporary art programmes. It houses a community of artists in its studios and opens to the public during exhibitions and events.
Soft Ground
A temporary space for creativity and community on The Moor. A place to meet, learn and socialise through workshops, events and exhibitions.
Sheffield General Cemetery
A hillside spot for both the living and the dead, containing stories of wars, epidemics, floods and more between 1836 and 1978. Today it's rich in history, wildlife and architecture. Look out for upcoming gigs, film screenings and exhibitions.
Yorkshire Artspace: Persistence Works
Over a hundred artists have made their home at Yorkshire Artspace. Once a year, its two sites become galleries for Open Studios weekend, a fantastic opportunity to see inside the workspaces of some of Sheffield’s creative residents.
Millennium Gallery
The cultural gateway to Sheffield. Millennium Gallery is always full of life and hosts some of the city's most exciting exhibitions, while also celebrating the area's heritage in its permanent displays.
Old Post Hall
Sheffield Hallam's art school gallery shows off students’ work and brings inspiring artists to the city, in a beautifully repurposed old post hall.
Graves Gallery
The Graves feels like a bit of a secret, tucked away above the Central Library. But with pieces by Bridget Riley, Marc Quinn, J.M.W. Turner, Grayson Perry and Sam Taylor-Wood, and brilliant temporary exhibitions, it's only right we let you in on it.
APG Works
With its bold mural out front and its colourful courtyard, this screen print studio, gallery and framing shop is full of charm. Here, print maestro Rupert Wood and his team work with some of Sheffield's best graphic artists.
99 Mary Street
Along the cobbles of Mary Street you’ll find this gallery and event space run by design studio DED Associates. DED occasionally transform part of their studio into The Viewing Room, hosting pop art exhibitions. Look out for upcoming events.
Western Bank Library
A modernist beauty that makes us envy students for all the hours they get to spend here.
Cupola Gallery
Not far from Sheffield Wednesday's football ground, Cupola has been brightening up this corner of the city since 1991, with exhibitions, shelves lined with ceramics, paintings and jewellery, and a smashing sculpture garden.
The Art House
A workshop space and occasional gallery, hidden away off busy Division Street. Try your hand at pottery, life drawing, textiles and watercolour, or join in a 'sip and paint' session over wine.
Double Somersault
A playful and dramatic public artwork by William Pye, sitting at the entrance to Weston Park Museum.
William Mitchell mural
One for fans of concrete: a public artwork by prominent post-war sculptor and some-time Tomorrow’s World presenter William Mitchell, sitting in the shadow of John Lewis.
The Misses Vickers
When he painted this piece in 1886, John Singer Sargent said: "I am to paint several portraits in the country and three ugly women at Sheffield, dingy hole." Nevertheless, it's one of our Jane's top 3 Sheffield artworks.
Howard Street
The distinctive graphic style of Rob Lee covers the gable end of a Sheffield Hallam University building opposite the Globe pub, in a commission to celebrate the tenth birthday of Now Then magazine. It's one of the stops on our Street Art Trail.
Bailey Lane Car Park
The Spanish artist Nano 4814 left behind this bright, wacky, and slightly unsettling piece when he came to town as part of the Feature Walls street art festival in 2016. It's the ninth stop on our city-centre street art trail.
Westhill Lane
Book and record shop Rare and Racy is no longer with us but at least we can enjoy the Phlegm mural round back while it's still standing. The cosmic scene features planets hanging from claw machines and astronomers whose eyes bulge through telescopes.
Gut Level
A community space platforming grassroots, queer and DIY arts and creative activities in Sheffield. Bringing people together since 2019 over parties, exhibitions, workshops, community gardening, communal meals, film nights, and more.
The House Skate Park
On the front of the skate park in Kelham Island, this piece is more structural than figurative – all piping, cogs and wrenches. It features in our top 5 murals by street artist Phlegm.
Gage Gallery
Sitting above a factory, wonderfully illuminated by skylights, Gage is run by Kelham Island Art Collective (KIAC). It puts on shows by its members, who include painters, sculptors, stone carvers and textile artists, as well as other local artists.
Stoneface Creative
A pretty ancient woodland turned magical gallery – now home to a sleeping giant, a rearing horse, and a changing and charming array of grindstone carvings and sculptures.
Fronteer Gallery
An artist-run showcase for contemporary art. Fronteer offers space to display, view and buy original artwork in a welcoming environment. Look out for upcoming exhibitions.
GLOAM Gallery
GLOAM is an exhibition and studio space, run by a collective of six artists. Look out for exhibitions here, often shining a spotlight on emerging contemporary artists from across the north.
Pinball Park
Florence Blanchard's playful, 1000-square-metre floor painting makes Pinball Park come alive with energy. With its pops of colour and fantastic flowing forms, this mural – titled Bounce! – is a truly joyful feature in the Cultural Industries Quarter.
Yorkshire Artspace: Exchange Place Studios
A beautiful 1920s art deco building, with five floors filled with artists and craftspeople of all persuasions. Also home to an exhibition space, the not-for-profit Carousel Print Studio and communal ceramic studio Clay Space.
