Art Sheffield: Up Down Top Bottom Strange & Charm

Leave a comment

Art Sheffield 2016 is a citywide contemporary art event, curated this year by Martin Clark, Director of Bergen Kunsthall, Norway. It takes as its starting point the political, social, cultural, and material histories of the city of Sheffield, enacted and explored through a carefully selected group of international video, film and sound works, as well as three major new commissions made especially for the exhibition by three British artists.

The title of the exhibition, Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Strange and Charm is taken from the six flavours (or types) of quark: the elementary particles that make up every atom, and the fundamental building blocks of matter.

There is a fantastic programme of events happening around the city, from film screenings to gallery tours, so check out the links here and here;  see if there’s anything that tickles your art fancy!

Snooker World Championships

Snooker’s greatest tournament returns to the Crucible in Sheffield from the 16th of April, and you can get involved!

The BBC will be coming to town and bring a whole host of events and activities, so even if you’re not into the snooker, there’s still plenty to do.

BBC Get Inspired will be laying on a range of free sporting activities in and around the Winter Garden from Friday, 1 May – Monday, 4 May, including a climbing wall and a virtual cycle of the Tour de Yorkshire.

The main event though is definitely the high-quality, exciting snooker that’s on show. You can either get tickets for the Crucible and watch all the action live on the baize or follow it on the big screens in Tudor Square, cheering on your favourite player.
