National Saturday Club

Sheffield’s only Art & Design Saturday Club is a free club for 13–16-year-olds of all abilities.

As well as weekly Saturday sessions, you will have the chance to take part in trips and visits, join a Masterclass with industry professionals, and exhibit your work in the National Saturday Club Summer Show in London.

Sheffield Museums lead the Club with Sheffield Hallam University who provide the opportunity to visit the University’s Creative Industries Institute and work with creative professionals specialising in art and design.

At Sheffield’s Art & Design Saturday Club, members will develop new hands-on making skills and grow their knowledge about art and design. They will explore and respond creatively to Sheffield’s museum collections and our programme of exhibitions and displays in the city-centre at the Graves Gallery and Millennium Gallery.

This year we will focus on the Ruskin collection. Club members will work alongside museum curators to create gallery displays while learning new artistic techniques and meeting other young people who have similar creative interests.

Applications are now open for Sheffield’s Art & Design Saturday Club. This year’s programme is also generously supported by Sheffield City Council’s Universal Youth Grant. Places are limited and will be allocated by application – please apply at: https://saturday-club.org/club/sheffield-museums/
