The Fine Art Department
A £30 million investment programme is helping us take our vision forward, moving all our activities into the centre of Sheffield’s Cultural Industries Quarter in the city centre. Work is underway on a state of the art new building with Wi-Fi technology and interactive galleries, which will provide a shop window for our innovation and creativity.
We are also investing in our facilities in two other city campus buildings. These will provide brand new art studios and workshops, extensive printmaking facilities, analogue & digital photo studio and darkrooms, video and audio editing suites with video, animation and performance areas. The vision will be completed when our current facilities for art, design and media relocate to the city campus in 2008.
