Sheffield City of Culture 2013 Bid

November 24, 2009 in Events by Ben

iheartsheff

 

Yesterday saw the first ‘open consultation’ for Sheffield’s bid to become the first UK City of Culture in 2013 at The Millennium Galleries (which was hosted by Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy).  We were asked to invite a few of the key people working in the city’s creative/cultural industries along.

The event itself showed there was a good mix of people from various backgrounds who support Sheffield’s bid.  There is still a lot of work to do, but the shortlist should be announced early December…

Eitherway, win or lose, we should use this opportunity to come together, show off what the city has to offer and build on the momentum…
