RivelinCo

We are the Sheffield arts centre without walls, proudly based in Hillsborough and working across North Sheffield. Instead of in a traditional arts building, our programme takes place in parks, supermarkets, community centres, high streets, car parks, empty shops, libraries, schools, and care homes - temporarily transforming them into theatres, galleries, workshops, classrooms and forums. We create and curate exciting shows, projects and events in unexpected places. We lead creative workshops that bring together people of all ages and walks of life to learn new skills. We share ideas from around the world: thinking globally and acting locally. Our projects are about people, and place. We celebrate. We question. We play. We believe access to culture is a human right, and our definition of culture is broad: our remit includes gardening, cooking, crafts, cinema, languages and sports as often as it includes theatre, dance, music and visual arts. Our approach is inclusive, intergenerational and environmentally sustainable. We prioritise respect, kindness and care: for our community, for our team, for our collaborators, and for the planet. From April 2022 we will be the lead delivery partners for Gathering Ground, a new activity and wellbeing centre in Hillsborough Park, in collaboration with Age UK Sheffield. Our vibrant year-round programme there will include theatre, cinema, gardening, woodwork, crafts, cooking, languages and more.
