Space & Place: Group Exhibition

The Space & Place: Group Exhibition is part of a larger project exploring the theme of space and place. This  exhibition invites artists whose work fits within the theme of space and place to take part in a group exhibition at Left Bank Leeds curated by Leo Rotaru. 

Left Bank Leeds is a multidisciplinary arts venue set in an amazing grade II* listed former church building in Leeds. Our mission is to preserve our building in order to inspire and empower through a programme of arts and events that promote creativity, connection and wellbeing. 

Selected artists will be required to install their work at the venue 11-13 July and be available to attend the opening event on Thursday 14 July 6-8pm. The exhibition will be open to the public 14-16 July and all artists will be required to take their work down on Sunday 17 July. 

All selected artists who exhibit will be able to invoice Left Bank Leeds for £100 as a contribution towards expenses upon completion of the exhibition. 

This project has been made possible with thanks to funding from Arts Council England.
