Keith Hayman Award for Public Art 2023

The SDA Trustees and Sheffield Civic Trust invite you to celebrate local public art with the annual presentation of the Keith Hayman Award for Public Art. This year's ceremony will take place at Site Gallery, and will include a pre-launch of the Sheffield Design Awards which will next take place in 2024, with entries opening next summer.

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.
