Art in the Park Sheffield- coming to a green space near you!

The Garden Rooms are pleased to announce that we have secured funding for six monthly art events to take place place in green spaces in the Netherthorpe, Upperthorpe and Langsett areas of Sheffield between now and July.

The next two dates are
Sunday February 15th, 2-5pm at Ruskin Park, Burgoyne Rd
Sunday March 14th, 2-5pm at Langsett Green, Grammar St

Art in the Park is an opportunity for people of all ages to get together and explore their environment through creative activities, including sculpture, photography, video, painting, dance and music. We provide some initial ideas and materials (as well as refreshments), but what happens on the day depends on the ideas and inclinations of participants. Feel free to drop by.

We also have opportunities for volunteers who would like to be more involved in the project.
