A Room in Leeds exhibition, at Leeds City Museum, showcases the artworks of 4 groups and individuals from across Leeds who took part in Skippko Art Teams project 'A Room in Leeds' during 2023/24.
Everyone involved in the project started with the same idea - to look at objects that mean something to the individual. From a giant teapot to photographs of objects in unfamiliar settings, the exhibition is testament to the hard work of those involved.
Come PLAY with us as we takeover Project House for a special extended play session with live music.
Celebrate all things cosy and autumnal with nature play, light and shadow play, sensory play and creative invitations to make crafts inspired by the best of the season.
Think woodland treasures, pumpkins, gorgeous scents and warm colours. Gentle, friendly, relaxed, welcoming.
Carefully curated for the tiniest of babes right up to the big kids: bring the whole family down to start the half term holidays right!

In 2021, MAKK, Yorkshire based singer-songwriter David McEvoy, met producer and co-writer Jacob Clarke at Evoke Studio in Leeds. Over the last two years, the duo has cultivated a distinctive Indie Dream Folk sound, characterised by lo-fi and experimental production, ethereal and dreamy atmospheres, and Makk’s moody vocals paired with introspective lyrics. Their ambient and mellow sound, with a cinematic feel, draws influences from artists such as Bon Iver, The Tallest Man on Earth, Billie Martin, Wyldest, Flyte, and This is The Kit.
