Art Sheffield 2010 is taking place from 6 March to 1 May at selected venues in Sheffield City Centre. In response to the Festival, the gallery spaces at Bank Street are being emptied of work and our exhibition programme put on hold in the hope that interested parties will use the spaces to make work in response to the festival, to have their say, to comment, to discuss but most importantly to be active participants.
Bank Street Arts is offering artists, makers, the viewing public and anyone interested the opportunity to respond to this and previous festivals held under the ‘Art Sheffield’ banner for the duration of the festival. If you are interested in being kept up to date and being involved, please join the Facebook group:
'Art Sheffield 2010 - Over to You' at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=267371049645&ref=mf&v=info
This is not a curated alternative fringe – it is something that will grow and evolve only through participation…. or alternatively, it won’t.
As this initiative is a response to Arts provision in general and a comment on its planning, financing, governance and politics (with a large or small p depending on your want) we can think of no more deserving or worthy cause in the city at the moment than the Portland Works issue which seems to encapsulate all of these matters. So if artists, film-makers indeed anyone at or connected with PW is interested in getting involved we would be happy to focus part of our efforts on raising the profile of this campaign in some way - we await your suggestions.
Over to You.
