Past show: The Reality of Small Differences @ Inkwell Arts and Union 105

In August, young people aged 8 to 13, from Chapeltown, Harehills, Mabgate, Lincoln Green or Burmantofts took part in our Summer School filled with arts and fun activities that everyone could get involved in. 

We’re delighted that a whole host of our brilliant East Street Arts studio holders and staff have been selected to exhibit in the Leeds Artists Show, at Leeds Art Gallery, which is open until 30 April so there are still a few weeks left to see it! Here’s a quick introduction to them and their practices. 

This Easter, we're flooding New Briggate with art in unusual places, that you can take home for free! Inspired by stories of the iconic street, the artworks can be found on anything from pizza boxes to reusable cups. Can you collect them all?

East Street Arts, as part of the ongoing ‘A City Less Grey’ project, is working in partnership with Leeds West Indian Carnival and Leeds City Council to commission a public art mural that preserves the history and richness of Leeds West Indian Carnival and represents the local community that resides in Chapeltown.

NOW CLOSED. East Street Arts have partnered with Leeds Creative Labs to bring together creatives with researchers from the University of Leeds as part of an initiative to open new ways of thinking.

East Street Arts launches In Practice, a podcast dedicated to supporting artists and their collaborators. A catalogue of episodes showcases curated conversations around artist development, place making and more. How do you sustain a career making art, and what does that look like?
