See below for examples of some of our recent work in and around Sheffield. If you would like to hear more about what we can offer please contact Luisa on luisa@artinthepark.org.uk to arrange an informal chat about what we can do for you.
Two artists worked with Art in the Park volunteers and pupils from Sheffield’s special schools to create a giant den in the Sheffield Winter Garden. Part maze, part sculpture, the den was based on an exploration of the five senses. Pupils were able to try their hand at weaving with willow and other materials as the den took shape over two weeks. Recycled junk saw a new lease of life, coming back as light mobiles, plant pots, musical instruments and even the very structure of the den itself.
Over 500 school pupils and members of the public were involved in making the den or had a chance to play in it, making this one of Art in the Park’s biggest projects to date. We also held residencies at two schools in Sheffield as part of the Festival, delivering art activities to pupils outside their normal lessons.
