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 Easter, we ate and left no crumbs. We’re stuffed with two weeks of mouth-watering activities about food, glorious food!
Why does your tummy keep grumbling? Why does your mouth water? And why do you get those cravings?
We’ll be investigating all your must-know foodie facts, using live science shows, workshops and restaurant roleplay. You’ll even get some recipes to try at home!
We’re showing the whole family why it’s okay to trust your taste buds, so you can come away feeling full, refreshed and happy with the choices you make.

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.
