Hailed as “queen of the qanun,” the 78-stringed Middle Eastern plucked zither, Maya’s intense and thoughtful music is rooted in the Arabic classical tradition but forges pathways into jazz, Western classical and Latin styles.

A beautifully curated monthly artisan market, featuring over 30 indie businesses, at Leeds Corn Exchange.

Leeds Art Gallery is thrilled to present a major retrospective of British documentary photographer Peter Mitchell.

Known for documenting Leeds throughout his career, the exhibition will explore and reflect upon key bodies of work from Mitchell’s remarkable career and feature works previously unseen by the public. Peter Mitchell has a long-rooted connection with Leeds and ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ marks nearly half a century since Mitchell’s first exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery in 1975.

Render Me Chaotic is a solo show of paintings by Leeds based artist Helen Dryden, presented by The Art Court in collaboration with Eye Room.

Helen Dryden uses painting as a way to explore, wonder and sometimes poke fun at the world we know, as well as imagining worlds we don’t yet know. Her solo exhibition, Render Me Chaotic, features paintings on canvas and wooden cutouts, embracing a bold, vibrant, and expressive style.
