Art Roundhay Park, a hidden gem within the heart of Roundhay Park.
With new original artwork and prints, and, for this season only, Christmas gifts by artists and makers from the North of England; a total of 40 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 in mind.
“'Smogg Says' is what I aim to be the first of many shows, showcasing a body of work that focuses on promoting conversation on social and political topics that I am passionate about and that are influenced by my own life experiences and those around me. This show’s subject focuses on exploring my experiences working as a stripper (dancer) in the UK for the past three years.
Through photography, illustration, and clothing, I will be delving into the history of stripping and its roots, as well as showcasing performances from colleagues who also work within the industry.”
Everything and All of Us brings together drawings and prints by Mary Griffiths spanning the last ten years.
It also includes a specially commissioned large-scale wall drawing and artworks selected by the artist from the University of Leeds’ Cultural Collections.
As Griffiths’ first major institutional show, the exhibition foregrounds the artist’s collaborative approach. This has led her to work closely with poets, musicians, biophysicists, astronomers, physicists and engineers.

This display tells the cautionary tale of ‘The Bingley Byron’, John Nicholson – and playwright and poet Tony Harrison’s efforts to bring his story to the stage.
John Nicholson was a woolsorter who achieved local fame as a poet in West Yorkshire in the 19th century, but was undone by a fatal combination of arrogance, pliability and drink.
Dutch artist Boris Maas responds to the mystery and atmosphere of the moonlit paintings of Victorian artist John Atkinson Grimshaw with his own immersive light installation and photographs.

Whether it is the controversial unwanted kiss of a male FA president planted upon a female sporting figure, or the litany of abuse from other males embedded in the power structure of our society, it is impossible to ignore the sweaty palmed grip of the patriarchy.
