Bloc Projects

Bloc Projects is an artist-led project space in the centre of Sheffield, UK. We present and commission exhibitions, events, residencies, exchange projects and educational activity in our gallery and courtyard. Established in 2002, the organisation provides a platform for early-mid career artists to develop new work and present work to new audiences. Our programme encourages experimentation and invites critical dialogue among artists and audiences. Throughout its history Bloc Projects has supported artists and artist groups from across the UK and Europe working in a wide range of media, delivered partnerships projects with organisations such as Compass Live Art, Sheffield Fringe and Sensoria Festival, and been a long term member of the Art Sheffield Consortium. Bloc Projects is lead by two co-managers and a small board of directors. The gallery is based at Bloc Studios, a partner organisation. While Bloc Projects was originally founded by staff and members of Bloc Studios, the gallery operates independently of the studios financially and legally. Find all information relating to the studios' history, artists and vacancies at the Bloc Studios website.
