Invitation to an exhibition opening in what must be the country’s most bijou and hospitable art space right here in South Leeds
Kristina Nenova: Wintering | Thursday 26th September | 5:30-8:30pm
This year BasementArtsProject has received funding from Arts Council England towards the first stages of a project that will culminate in an exhibition and public sculpture for South Leeds. Annabelle Richmond-Wright is an artist based in Middleton; South Leeds and 2021 graduate of Leeds Arts University.
If you would like to create a piece of art that will form part of this monument to the community you can join us and have a go. No previous experience required, just the desire to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty in an arty fashion
Come visit the exhibition and participate in our workshops at the end of the world.
