About KIAC

KIAC (Kelham Island Arts Collective) is an independent, artist-led creative space located on the first floor of Lion Works, a former industrial building on Ball Street in the heart of Sheffield's Kelham Island.

Home to a diverse community of artists and makers, KIAC provides affordable studio spaces that encourage creativity, collaboration and artistic development. The collective aims to support Sheffield's creative community, creating opportunities for people to engage with art and bringing people together through shared experiences.

Alongside its working studios, KIAC offers a programme of creative activities, including life drawing sessions, pottery classes, workshops, exhibitions and open studio events. Whether you're an experienced artist, looking to try something new or simply curious about the local art scene, there's something for everyone.

KIAC also offers affordable, flexible gallery hire for a wide range of activities. From art exhibitions and creative workshops to meetings, events and community gatherings, the space provides an adaptable setting for people to come together, share ideas and bring projects to life.

Rooted in Kelham Island's industrial heritage and thriving creative culture, KIAC is a space for making, sharing and celebrating art.
