THE SHEFFIELD ARTIST
Born in Sheffield in 1938, Joe Scarborough is an artist most famous for bringing to life the everyday scenes of South Yorkshire, painting humorous depictions of Sheffield life. Originally hailing from Pitsmoor, an area to the North of Sheffield City Centre, Joe still lives in his hometown to this day on his much loved narrowboat.
The Arts Centre is currently ablaze with colour, thanks to an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Joe Scarborough.
Joe Scarborough is pulling in the crowds, breaking records at the city's Mappin Gallery.
