Design Lab Sheffield

Is your school a Sheffield school in S5, S35 or S36? If so, your school is eligible to apply for our brand-new 'Pick a Picture' pilot project!

We are offering one Primary school and one Secondary school from the north of the city the chance to have an artwork from Sheffield's collection on display in their school from September 2026 to July 2027.

We have some fabulous artworks to choose from, including work by local artists, abstracts, portraits, landscapes and still lifes. This will enable you to plan exciting and creative teaching and learning experiences across the curriculum, and you will be supported by Sheffield Museums’ Schools Team and by our experienced curators and technicians.

The two selected schools will also receive £500 towards transport to visit the Millennium and Graves Galleries.
