Bank Street Arts (BSA) was a contemporary art centre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It was established in January 2008, initially as a studio complex for artists."[http://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/news/Arts-centre-taking-shape-in.4393318.jp Art Centre taking shape in Sheffield's legal quarter]". Sheffield Telegraph, 15 August 2008 It has grown to include eight public galleries, thirty artist studios and a café.

Based in the Cathedral Quarter, the organisation oversaw the redevelopment of the grade II listed Georgian terrace buildings previously used as lawyers offices. The organisation itself is independent and self-funded.

It has aimed to provide a base for artwork in the local area. As a result, a large proportion of exhibitors reside in the South Yorkshire region. In 2009, the centre opened to the public on a daily basis.

In February 2010, Bank Street Arts became a registered Charity in England and Wales focused on regeneration of the city through artistic means.[https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/4049297/governing-document Governing document, Bank Street Arts Ltd - 1134505].
