East Street Arts is a contemporary arts organisation in Leeds. Our mission is to focus on the development of artists through our events programme, membership activities, professional development and studio/facility provision.

We take a holistic approach to working with artists on a professional level to empower them to realise their potential. East Street Arts operates three sites: Patrick Studios (East Street Arts headquarters), Barkston House and the recently opened UNION 105. We also run a range of off site projects.

On a regular basis, East Street Arts invites you to get involved in our activities including artists’ talks, special events, cultural trips and exchanges, debates and publications by:

• coming along to our events
• joining our membership for increased access to East Street Arts resources, facilities and special events
• sending in proposals for event and exhibiting opportunities
