He said it would “reinforce Sheffield’s reputation as a vibrant, creative city” and “deliver lasting benefits for residents”, including boosting economic activity through tourism.
The latest edition will be the tenth instalment of the British Art Show and the first time it has visited Sheffield since 1985.
A collaboration has been established between the council, Sheffield Museums, Site Gallery, studio provider Yorkshire Artspace, and charity Arts Catalyst.
Sheffield Museums director of programmes Kirstie Hamilton said: “Visual art is an important aspect of the city’s past and present, and we’re excited to be able to introduce dialogues around the works in the exhibition and Sheffield’s own significant visual art collection.”
“In making the best in contemporary art available to people on their doorstep, we have a fantastic opportunity to start meaningful conversations and inspire the next generation of Sheffield artists.”
The tour will start in Coventry in 2026 before heading to Swansea, Bristol, Sheffield and Newcastle Gateshead.
