Ruskin-in-Sheffield
Ruskin in Sheffield was a Guild programme designed to enrich the city with events and activities that draw inspiration from the ideas and collections of John Ruskin. It ran from 2014 until the end of Ruskin's bicentenary year in 2019, involving and reaching more than 25,000 people. In 1875, Ruskin chose Walkley in Sheffield as the location for St George's Museum, to house a remarkable collection, the purpose of which was to educate and inspire the metal-workers of Sheffield, whose skill he declared the best in the world. The Ruskin Collection, owned and supported by the Guild of St George, is now housed at the Millennium Gallery. Our programme built on this remarkable legacy. The 2020 Guild publication, 'Paradise is Here: Building Community Around Things That Matter', written by Ruskin in Sheffield producer Ruth Nutter, was inspired by the learnings and successes of the programme, and offers tried and tested insights into how the tools of arts-based, socially engaged practice can best be used to make a positive difference in any community.
