We kick off our programme of guest artists for 2025 (from 6th February) with Adele Howitt, a ceramicist from Hull who has exhibited internationally and whose intricate pieces are a joy to behold.
Come to see Adele’s work and the other Gallery artists throughout February. Inspired by landscape and nature, Adele uses various techniques, including hand building, coil and slab building, hand-thrown elements, extruded clay, and glazing, to examine the natural environment in fine detail.
Adele’s exhibition will be on display until the end of February.

Please come and join us on Thursday, 6th February when we’ll be holding our usual First Thursday of the Month gathering to launch our new Guest Artist of the Month. We kick off our programme of guest artists for 2025 with Adele Howitt, a ceramicist from Hull who has exhibited internationally and whose intricate pieces are a joy to behold. It’s an opportunity to meet some of the Gallery artists in addition to Adele, over a glass of wine.
Join Jess to delve into the Mysore world of Ashtanga self-practice over these four weeks.
Self-practice can feel daunting at first, but it holds so many incredible benefits. You learn to move more mindfully, connect deeper to your physical body and its needs, self-regulate in challenging circumstances and begin to sharpen the focus of the mind, so you can truly understand yourself and your thoughts and habits.
In this workshop of two halves, come and experience the fullness of you and facilitate what desires to come through, to present itself.
Experience 'Everything and All of Us' anew with an evening of live piano performances.
Acclaimed Leeds-based pianists and composers, Simeon Walker and Laura Cole, will each perform brand-new music live in the gallery space. They have been specially commissioned to respond to our current exhibition, 'Mary Griffiths: Everything and All of Us'.
The exhibition as a whole foregrounds Griffiths' collaborative approach. This includes works created with poets, biophysicists, astronomers, engineers - and musicians.
Don your badges, rally your friends, and join us for a special evening viewing of Animated Activism: Women Empowered.
Exploring the histories of Women's Aid and Leeds Animation Workshop, as told through their own archives, Animated Activism: Women Empowered is an exhibition that will leave you inspired - and angry.
Join us in our monthly life drawing class with Gallery favourite, experienced artist and tutor, Rob Oldfield.
This workshop is open to everyone, from newcomers who want to take up a hobby through to experienced artists looking to hone their sketching skills.
Materials including various papers, pencils, charcoal and drawing boards will be supplied, but please feel free to bring your own too.
Join the Leeds illustrator meet-up, Brew, to bust the winter creative block.
January and February are slow, hibernation months, and it can be hard to feel inspired. So for our meet-up this month, we’ll be doing some fun exercises to beat the creative block. Come along for a relaxed evening of activities and a chance to chat with other illustrators. Who knows, you might leave with ideas for a new creative project!
