About

The Keith Hayman Award celebrates and promotes public artwork in Sheffield. Two awards are given annually: one for a sculpture and one for a mural.

Public art has a great role to play in helping to make Sheffield look and feel unique and distinctive. It helps create places and spaces that we love and cherish and can have a positive impact on our well-being.

The award commemorates Keith Hayman, a founder member of Sheffield Civic Trust who sadly died in 2013. He had retired from a career with Sheffield City Council where he brought his skills and commitment as town planner and environmentalist to enhancing the quality of the public realm. He was also a committed and talented artist. This award was initiated in his memory and recognises an outstanding contribution to the experience of public art in Sheffield.
