Who We Are
Our team members have varied backgrounds in the museums, education and arts sectors but share the same vision.
We want all children and young people in Sheffield to know what cultural activity is happening and feel it is for them.
Meet Laura Travis
Create Sheffield Manager since 2023
Laura worked closely with artists, organisations and practitioners during a 15-year career at Sheffield Museums.
There, she saw the impact culture can have on the well-being of young people.
Today, Laura dedicates her time to uniting Sheffield’s creative sectors to make a difference and tackle inequalities.
Her ambition is to help create more arts and cultural opportunities, by everyone, for everyone.
