I'm proud this place is in my local area. It isn't in the most obvious location for a gallery- that is a brilliant thing. Really liked the garden with the sculptures and were given a tour around. Some of the art was to my taste, some less so, but all was interesting- which is the most I think you can ever hope for!

Bank Street Arts

Bank Street Arts is a self-funded, independent arts centre specialising in collaborative arts practice. We take a critical approach to every facet of our work: from funding to education, from engagement with artists to projects we take on, from outreach work to business and management models. Every aspect of the organization is part of its unique make up: the whole being infinitely more rich and complex than the sum of its parts. We provide a home, venue and setting for some of the best new art, writing and culture from across the region and have a national and international reputation in poetry and artists' books. Our policy of juxtaposing poet-laureates with school-children, Turner Prize winners with first time artists is testimony to our commitment to openness and quality. Our charitable remit is regeneration, education, training and employment, delivered through the arts: we are concerned with the social role of the arts as well as research and development. Partners range from Sheffield Children's Festival to universities: a unique mix for a volunteer led and run arts centre.

Maurice Dobson Museum & Heritage Centre

A small volunteer led and organised village museum that tells the story of Darfield's long industrial & social history. Housed in a restored 1750 Yeoman's residence, the museum opened in the year 2000 and has a large variety of displays illustrating the key factors of Darfield. The museum displays both domestic memorabilia, artefacts of local significance and much more!

Stoneface Creative

About Andrew Vickers (Stoneface) My interest in creating art from stone began around twenty five years ago. As a dry stone Waller I began to notice that walls were being erected with no trace left behind to identify the Waller responsible. Therefore I decided to be the first to leave my mark on the walls I built, so that in years to come people would recognise my work. This is where the idea came from to place small stone faces I carved, from the waling stone, into the walls themselves. That’s where Stoneface was born. After discovering that I could take images from my mind and create them in stone I began striving to create more, using bigger pieces of stone on more intricate projects. My passion to create art grew and with it so did Stoneface. Creating art for a range of clientele from rock stars to politicians, my love for what I do constantly grows stronger. I was fortunate enough to purchase Storrs woodland around four years ago. This amazing space has become a massive in

Graves Gallery

The Graves Gallery is the home of Sheffield's visual art collection. Situated above the Central Library, away from the noise and traffic of the city centre, the Gallery is a peaceful haven for visitors to enjoy the city's art and a programme of temporary exhibitions. Famous names on show at the Graves include Turner and Sisley, while more recent artists include Damien Hirst, Bridget Riley, Sam Taylor-Wood, and Marc Quinn. Local heroes include George Fullard, Derrick Greaves and Stanley Royle.

I loved the Graves Gallery. It was somewhere to take my artist son, but I got so much out of my visit. The website gives a hint of some of the struggles and so does the long walk up all the stairs to get to the top floor of the building, with some interesting museum cases and quotations from the likes of Michael Palin about the importance of libraries (this being essentially the library building) These are threatened by peeling paintwork. I'd known from the website not to skimp on the clothing (it was January anyway and we had had a long bus journey) In practice the temporary exhibition rooms seemed to be heated normally and it was the areas on permanent display whose climate explained the very endearing provision of rugs for those who wanted to spend time sitting on the benches. I would not agree with those who think this is all pretty average stuff although bigger cities will have more extensive collections, there was a lot more here than I had expected. The main feature currently perhaps was the Lorna May Wadsworth portraits, here as the temporary Gaze exhibition and inspired by her local connection (as well as her talent!) Worth bringing young people who wouldn't normally be keen - we were surprised to find depictions of David Tennant and Michael Sheen in their recent TV incarnations in Good Omens for example. An exhibition which could be accessed at a variety of levels. I loved Grayson Perry's Comfort Blanket - both comforting, yes, but also, currently very sobering too. I kept thinking "Oh, there's more!" as yet another room hoved into view with works by the most celebrated artists displayed in low key fashion with light touch curation (but not no curation... you could take note, or not, as you wished) Obviously used by a wide variety of people - somewhere peaceful and lovely to go as a lunchtime break, art students and others. Nice little shop. And then other Sheffield delights such as the Winter Gardens and Millennium Galleries are close at hand
