The expansion of the Arts Trail has been supported by Sheffield City Council’s Economic Recovery Fund (ERF) initiative.
The goal of the ERF is to engage with the general public and encourage people back on to the high streets to shop locally. By brightening up areas with artwork and creating an improved environment the initiative hopes to increase footfall to our shops and trading outlets across the city.
