• Engagement of artists throughout the year, and thorough marketing of artists and their work on a year-round basis.
• Receipt of regular e-newsletters outlining the latest grassroots, local and regional developments for visual artists in Sheffield and beyond.
• Access to printable resources to develop your practice, including bespoke material to learn marketing and demonstration techniques, written by visual artists for visual artists.
• Inclusion in our new Facebook group to feature your artwork, other exhibits and events, and network with other visual artists in the area.

In addition:
