Did you know that April is National Pet Month? Hence it is very fitting that we are calling for submissions from local artists to donate artwork for the exhibition Don’t Judge a Dog by its Collar in support of the animal rescue charity; Rain Rescue. We have also been busy delivering sweet inspired workshops as part of the build-up to Chesterfield Community Arts Festival. At Parsons Cross Library this Easter holiday we are running a massive range of creative activities for the whole family, including giant knitting, street art with graffiti pens and even a drama workshop with a professional actress.

Help us continue our work in local communities:

Joe (our Administrator) ran the Sheffield half marathon, there is still the opportunity to raise funds for Art in the Park. You can sponsor him here: https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/joeglentworth1

We are now recruiting for new event volunteers to work alongside our artists to help run successful, creative events for community groups in and around Sheffield.

Main activities and tasks include: Helping set up and clear down at events, supporting the artist to engage participants in creative activities. Optional tasks include: monitoring attendance, taking photos and helping gather feedback from participants.

As and when events are planned, volunteers on the database are contacted and sign up in advance to participate as available. The amount of hours volunteered is flexible.

What do I have to do if I want to volunteer? Request a volunteer pack from admin@artinthepark.org.uk and return in back via email or post.

What benefits can be gained from volunteering? You will gain experience working with adults, children and the community, creative skills, events management. It’s a fantastic way of meeting new people and experiencing some amazing activities.
