Art in Unusual Places | Call for Submissions
Are you an artist / curator / arts organisation in Leeds frustrated by the lack of exhibition spaces in the city? Then this could be the opportunity for you!
Art in Unusual Places is a new scheme which opens up empty shop units and city centre spaces for artists to use. Spaces range in size, scale and location and include fully accessible units, shop windows and hoardings. If you have an idea for a project, then we want to hear from you. Previous project experience preferred, but not essential.
All spaces are rent and rate free to artists, although there may be some costs which you will need to cover. The scheme is currently unable to pay exhibition costs or cover your time.
If you would like to take part, please complete the application below. Art in Unusual Places has a rolling deadline and selected artists / curators / organisations will be served on a first-come-first-served basis. There are a limited number of spaces available at this stage, so if something suitable can’t be found immediately, we will contact you when it becomes available.
Art in Unusual Places is a partnership project between Leeds City Council, the business community and cultural sector.
If you have any queries, please ring 0113 3950678.
