The North Bar Art wall is expanding! We are looking for Leeds-based artists to exhibit in three of our venues.

North Bar Art Wall is a collaborative project, managed by artists to support and showcase new and established creatives.

The Opportunity

We are looking for Leeds-based artists who would like to exhibit in one of our bars for three months.

No experience putting on exhibitions is required—we are focused on showcasing quality artists of all backgrounds, free of charge.  

Our Summer exhibitions will begin in June with a specific date discussed with the artist. 

Please let us know if you have a preference venue-wise, and we will try our best to accommodate this.

Also, please let us know if you would prefer to exhibit later on in the year - we are always on the lookout for future exhibitors!

The Exhibitions

Exhibition requirements: any artwork that can be mounted onto a wall, whether that's photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, video or anything in between.

You can choose a theme and/or name for the show, and we will create a poster and market it on social media. 

As part of the exhibition, we will host an open evening in the bar - we will help you run this.

All artists are given the opportunity to sell their work in the bar, but please note we will take a 10% commission fee as admin costs.
