A Room in Leeds exhibition, at Leeds City Museum, showcases the artworks of 4 groups and individuals from across Leeds who took part in Skippko Art Teams project 'A Room in Leeds' during 2023/24.

Join us in the newly refurbished Seminar Room at Henry Moore Institute to hear from Ryan Bishop as he takes a sideways look at Hany Armanious: Stone Soup.
Using our current exhibition as a springboard, he will consider some strands of Western philosophical and aesthetic traditions as they pertain to representation, mimesis, the metaphysics of presence, technology, and simulation.

Our new show at Art Roundhay Park
Art Roundhay Park, a hidden gem within the heart of Roundhay Park.
With new original artwork and prints, by artists and makers from the North of England, a total of nearly 35 artists and creators taking part.
The theme is inspired by the natural beauty of Roundhay Park, the Yorkshire coastline and landmarks in Yorkshire. We've asked the artists to explore many different mediums, textures, colourways, but always with nature and landscape in mind.
