Abstract

Art Sheffield 2010 was a citywide contemporary art event showcasing artwork by locally, nationally and internationally based artists.

This was the fifth event, organised by Sheffield Contemporary Art Forum (SCAF), to take place since 2001 and took the form of a single exhibition, spread across the city’s gallery spaces: Bloc, Millennium Gallery, S1 Artspace, Site Gallery, Yorkshire Artspace, Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery and the public realm.

For Art Sheffield 2010, SCAF worked with Netherlands-based curators Frederique Bergholtz and Annie Fletcher, who collaborated with curators and artists in the city to select a dynamic and varied programme, featuring artwork that reflects the curatorial framework chosen for the event.
