It might be tricky to get away this summer but Ellie Way's Leeds Travel posters are a great reminder of why there's no place like home. 

Ellie initially started designing posters of the local settings on her ‘one walk a day’ around Wakefield during the first national lockdown in 2020 to encourage positive conversations during an uncertain time and connect people to the places that were on their doorstep. 

Five months after my first phone call to Mark , subject of Song Portrait No.1, I’ve  finished the gallery. There should be 8. There have ended up being 9, mainly because I’ve been having such a great time. 

We are pleased to share details about the successful applications to the June round of the Leeds Inspired grant scheme. If you’re interested in applying for Leeds Inspired funding to support an arts project in Leeds please visit our grants information page.

If you've not been able to take a tour around Beeston and Holbeck's LS11 Art Gallery we thought we'd share a few photos of the pictures along with some of the artists who created them. The lampost gallery was created by Slung Low during lockdown and all the artwork is by people living in the area.  The LS11 Art Gallery is funded through the Leeds Inspired Grants Scheme. Enjoy!

We're launching Leeds Inspired today - in beta. That sounds great doesn't it, but what does beta actually mean?

This site you're looking at is the first public version we're launching out of production and we're doing it now in order to get your feedback. It allows us to launch a site with the core functionality included and let you start using it.
