Our gallery
Our Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery showcases the very best work by members of our community and visiting artists.
We offer a programme of changing exhibitions, across art, design and media. Past exhibitors have included David Mellor, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Charles Atlas, Ken Garland, Lance Wyman, Laurie Anderson, George Grosz as well as many of our own staff and students.
Admission to all events is free.
Opening times
During exhibitions, the gallery is open 10am-5pm Monday-Friday, and until 10am-4pm on Saturdays. Outside business hours you may be asked to sign in the building.
Our café is open Monday-Friday and serving barista coffee, a range of hot and cold drinks, cakes, pastries and sandwiches and paninis.
We are closed on public holidays, and on other dates when the University is closed.
