What's it all about?
The Ideas Bazaar is an event for Sheffield's creative community to come together, meet one another and share ideas.
What's the Big Idea?
We want to get creative people together to share the energy which makes Sheffield such a fantastic city. We also want to introduce people and help new ideas develop. Funding is available to make the best ideas happen.
At the first Ideas Bazaar in September 2011 over 450 people from both the City and the University came together throughout the day, many of whom found their perfect match and were given the opportunity of showcasing their ideas during the Festival of the Mind in 2012.
Who is it for?
The Ideas Bazaar is for everyone in the city with creative ideas, whether they be in the arts or sciences, history or any other field.
Attendees and exhibitors include:
- Students
- Members of academic staff from Sheffield's Universities and local colleges
- Creative practitioners from the city
- Members of the general public with ideas and curious to know more.
- The Ideas Bazaar was a free of charge event for all, including stall holders.
"Sheffield is an exciting and creative place where ideas abound - in the arts, sciences, performance and innovation. We are also an international community, and our ideas stretch from the home-grown to the global and even out into space!
"We want to bring together anyone else in the city who loves ideas and would like to share them - practitioners, students, teachers, academics ... or any with a genuine interest. The Ideas Bazaar is part of our commitment to the cultural and creative life of the city."
Professor Keith Burnett, Vice-Chancellor
