Following our successful performance 'Abundance, A Room in Leeds' at The Carriageworks Theatre in July, Skippko is presenting all the artworks created over this year long project at our venue 50 in Holbeck.

From a miniature fireplace to a giant teapot, photography to animation, this exhibition presents the work created by participants from Leeds communities, including AVSED (Supporting Aireborough Seniors), Belle Isle Senior Action, OPAL (Older people's action in the locality), The photography group, Aspire CBS (Community Benefit Society) and Armley Helping Hands.

Please join us and Graham on the evening of the 5th September and find out more about his incredible career and experiences across a diverse creative world. Definitively not to be missed! Find out about our Guest Artist for September - sculptor, poet, painter, museum modeller and blockbuster film live action FX creator - over a glass of wine.

Graham High has had probably one of the most interesting and exciting careers in the creative world.

Where does the boundary lie between pictures and words? Where does drawing stop and writing begin? When does one become the other? In order to explore these questions more closely, Dan Collins has produced a series of word-paintings using a practice he describes as ‘shamanic calligraphy’.

For Heritage Open Days 2024 we invite you on an exclusive tour of our exhibition, Part of the Furniture: The Library of John Bedford.
