Spanning both our Galleries for the first time, join us for the launch of our latest exhibition ‘SICK’.
Take a first look at a newly commissioned body of work by Leeds-based artist Sarah Roberts at this special evening event. We'll have both galleries open for you to explore. Step into the artist's childhood and her creative process in this artistic reflection on environments of care in two parts.
Enter into an artistic exploration of environments of care in two parts by Leeds-based artist Sarah Roberts.
The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history – millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever.
CANVAS is a month-long celebration of art and community.
The event will be presented in partnership with Leeds Arts University, showcasing student’s work and highlighting the importance of art and creativity as both a form of expression, and a legitimate career path.
This new display by artist Sarah Casey, explores the fragile state of glacial archaeology through delicate, atmospheric work inspired by objects emerging from ice in the Swiss Alps.
Taking its title from the scientific term for receding glaciers Negative Mass Balance reflects on the unprecedented melting of alpine ice, which reveals ancient artefacts preserved for millennia.
This is the first survey and most comprehensive exhibition of the work of artist Roger Ackling (1947-2014), one of the most quietly influential artists of the late twentieth century.
North Bar proudly presents painter Nick Smith's 'Borderlines' as our April exhibition.
Nick Smith is a graduate from Leeds Art University who was born in Oxford and now lives in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. Having only been painting since 2020, he has quickly found his feet and love for architectural form. He has shown his work at the Ones to Watch 2022 exhibition at Sunny Bank Mills, and also in the Tinker Gallery in Ilkley, Open Gallery in Halifax, Skipton town hall and Fresh space in Hackney Wick, London.
Life is the embodiment of a mind within the physical world. Age can bring with it the prospect of disembodiment, states in which the mind operates without reference to body or world. ‘Outer Worlds, Inner Space’ looks at the connection between art, music and nature as a means of returning the spirit to the corporeal body.
BasementArtsProject have always straddled a line between the private and personal when it comes to presenting the idea of life as an artwork. Where does the public persona end and the private life begin?
Fragments is a special exhibition of dance, sculpture and photography, running throughout March.
This exhibition is a unique multidisciplinary collaboration between Gallery artist Mandy Long, photographer Stephen Cole and dancers Pablo Reyero and Tony Polo.
Stephen worked with Pablo and Tony, photographing and filming them as they explored intimate movement, inspiring Mandy to capture their performance and physicality in her poetic raku figures.
