ArtWorks and Kelham Island Museum present Industrial Echoes, a celebration of creativity, inclusion and Sheffield’s industrial heritage.
This showcase celebrates the creative talents of artists who have learning disabilities, autistic artists or both. The exhibition promotes inclusivity and brings new life to Kelham Island’s industrial heritage through artwork made responding to the museum’s collection.
Over the last two years, ArtWorks' talented artists have immersed themselves in the museum’s rich collection, drawing inspiration to create a collection of innovative artworks. Visitors can expect to be wowed by pieces that blend traditional and contemporary techniques, including pewter castings and bold, expressive charcoal drawings that pay homage to Sheffield’s industrial roots.
ArtWorks will be hosting a series of fun and interactive public workshops that invite everyone to be an artist. From creating unique metal jewellery to hands-on pewter casting and a collaborative automator sculpture workshop, there’s something for everyone. Keep an eye on ArtWorks and Kelham Island Museum's social media channels for the latest updates on these opportunities to join in.
