The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Site Gallery

After reopening this summer with the fantastic Points of Rupture exhibition, Site Gallery's doors are once again closed for lockdown. The gallery remains open online, though – in the form of WEB/SITE.

WEB/SITE is an online programme of events and activity. Take part in reading groups, join live workshops for families, and enjoy a selection of films from the gallery's City of Ideas talks programme. You can also find a selection of long reads relating to the programme over on Site Stories.

See the WEB/SITE programme below – come back soon for more!
