Community Engagement
Yorkshire ArtSpace has been involved in engagement, education and outreach activities for over 20 years, providing exciting opportunities in the visual arts and crafts for children, young people, adults and communities to develop their creative thinking and practical skills.
Much of our work in this area is now done as part of the Artist in Residence programme, and future work will tie in with our new studio developments in the city centre, Manor Oaks and in Parson Cross (see Studios for details).
We still offer schools and groups bespoke activity such as tours, talks and opportunities to meet artists, so if you would like to discuss this further contact Rachael@artspace.org or speak to us on reception.
Lead Artist Opportunity
Yorkshire Artspace is looking to appoint a lead artist to engage with people in the Parson Cross neighbourhood of Sheffield during 2010/11 to help us get to know our soon to be new neighbours prior to the Knutton Road Studios opening and better understand what makes this neighbourhood unique. Crucially we want the artist to work with local people to populate and animate the new Chaucer Buchanan Public Square - currently under construction – during the opening event scheduled for April 2011.
The artist brief and application are in the download section of this page.
Deadline for applications Friday 25 June 2010
