Calling all Leeds based artists.

This is a free opportunity to exhibit your artwork in Leeds. We have partnered with venues across the city to host three exhibitions as part of the first phase of the project. The dates of each exhibition will be announced in the New Year.  Alongside the exhibitions, we will be hosting a variety of workshops designed to help artists in their quest to exhibit. You are guaranteed a spot in one of the shows if you complete the below application and participate in the workshops.  APS will curate each exhibition and match the artists needs to the venue.

We are looking for artists and creatives working with any medium (painting, sculpture, photography etc). From beginners to professionals.

We have tried to streamline the exhibition application as much as possible to take away any barriers. The form will ask you for examples of your artwork and what you would like from an exhibition.

We will be supporting you from start to finish, so let’s get to work!

About the Project

‘Let Us See You’ will be a 12-month project of curatorial artist support and development, and exhibition opportunities for Leeds-based artists culminating in a series of exhibitions across the city at key partner venues. We want to open up the process of curation and selection for an art show by investing in artists from the very beginning of the process and offering support right through to the end; kicking off by hosting a series of accessible surgeries that demystify the application and selection process, that focus on what the artists’ needs are rather than a predetermined curatorial focus. ‘Let Us See You’ builds on the inclusive work of Aire Place Studios and continues to support the work of communities that experience barriers to participation.

Supported with funding from Leeds Inspired, part of Leeds City Council.
