Hidden High Street Histories of New Briggate: Artist Commissions

We are planning three artist commissions and we will work in partnership with Leeds City Council and Historic England and leading a consortium of organisations which includes Leeds Heritage Theatres, Opera North, North Bar and Brewing, Leeds Civic Trust, Age UK and The Churches Conservation Trust – all residents of (or around) New Briggate.

These opportunities are for three artists to work individually and collectively as part of a three-year cultural programme that will celebrate our high street.

Each artist will be placed in residence across the consortium members and will work with identified neighbourhoods that hold a connection to the high street.
