City, Culture and Public Engagement at the University of Sheffield

We partner with core city cultural institutions to drive cultural vibrancy and link our research and academic expertise with city and regional needs.

We also deliver a year-round programme of public engagement events, exhibitions and activities in the city and via the University of Sheffield Player.

Cultural vibrancy

We’re working with creative and cultural partners to co-create projects and activities which add to the region's vibrancy, from festivals and exhibitions to green space and regeneration initiatives. We work with partners to showcase the strengths of the city as well as supporting the recovery of the cultural sector.
