Enter into an artistic exploration of environments of care in two parts by Leeds-based artist Sarah Roberts.

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.

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.

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.
