Our Mission
Art in the Park creates opportunities for participation in environmental art and volunteering. Our activities inspire individuals and strengthen communities.

Who we are
Art in the Park is a community environmental arts organisation based in Sheffield. We were established in 2003 by local artists who saw the need for more creative activities in the area, and aimed to be a boost to local regeneration.
Based in Upperthorpe, we run open access art events in green spaces in and around the areas of Upperthorpe, Netherthorpe and Langsett. Recent strategic changes have seen us spreading our scope even further, to cover the whole of Sheffield.
Art in the Park is run by a team of three part time workers and many volunteers.
We recruit community artists to help plan and co-ordinate our larger projects. We currently receive funding from a variety of sources.

Why we do it
Art in the Park aims to inspire individuals and communities. We hope to encourage more creative and social use of parks and green spaces, and allow people to develop different skills and confidence.
We provide opportunities for creative play for both adults and children and create a forum for people to interact with different members of the community and their everyday environment.

How you can get involved
Come along to one of our events. We also have opportunities for volunteers who would like to be involved in the project, including different roles and training opportunities. We are also keen to make connections and partnerships with other projects in the city and elsewhere.
