Good Morning: A Day in Art by Chantal Joffe & Ishbel Myerscough

Thu 15 October 2026 - Sun 17 January 2027

Millennium Gallery

Painters Chantal Joffe and Ishbel Myerscough have shared a close friendship and artistic dialogue for decades. While distinct in style, their work is united in its exploration of family, friendship and the everyday.  

 

Good Morning sees them trace the unfolding of a single day through the eyes of more than 80 artists. Presenting their own deeply personal paintings and drawings alongside works from Sheffield’s collection by William Blake, Prunella Clough, Paul Gauguin, David Hockney, Claudette Johnson and more, Joffe and Myerscough celebrate the quiet significance of ordinary experience.

From first light to nightfall, the portraits and domestic scenes they bring together invite visitors to reflect on those often-overlooked moments familiar to us all. 

To accompany Good Morning, Chantal Joffe and Ishbel Myerscough have each generously created a limited edition print available at a special price. The prints can be purchased exclusively from the Millennium Gallery shop and all proceeds from their sale will directly support Sheffield Museums’ work as a charity to care for the city’s art collection and bring the very best in art to Sheffield and its people.

 

Everything we do is made possible by you – please donate £5 to help us ensure that everyone can enjoy the best in art and design here, on their doorstep.
