One of our big goals for this upcoming year is to establish a lobbying role for political issues effecting artists and creatives in the city. As such, we want to make sure that you have the facts on policies which might effect you in the upcoming election.

So, we thought it would be useful to draw together the pledges, statements and manifesto promises made by each of the major parties in relation to Arts and Culture policy in one handy summary.

SLATE is a new development programme for black artists across the north of England. Over the next three years Sheffield based Eclipse Theatre will provide workshops, residencies, skills development training, retreats, production support and commission new work.

We ask Guild member Bobby Tiwana to tell us more.

We are recruiting a part time Marketing and Events Officer.

Here at the Guild, we are excited to say that we are looking for a dynamic and motivated individual to join our small staff team of one!

Since our launch in May 2016 we have grown to nearly 300 members and have delivered over 20 events. We have exciting plans for the next few years to grow our activity and our offer and are looking for someone to help us drive the Guild forward.

The first of a new regular feature called Meet the Member, where we chat to a different Guild member each month, find out what they do and the exciting things they are up to at the moment. 

For our Meet the Member feature this month we are shining a spotlight on filmmaker Brett Chapman. After graduating from The University of Sheffield with a degree in Journalism he spent five years working at a PR, design & advertising agency before taking the leap into self-employment. You can find out more and connect with Brett here.
