Letters to Leeds is a project that was born out of a love for Leeds and a desire to further understand and celebrate its greatness. 

We want to invite people to come together on a collective exploration of the city. Whether you’ve been here all along, moved here yesterday, or are just passing through – we want to capture Leeds through your experiences. In order to do so, we will be holding three free workshops at Hyde Park Book Club that will encourage sharing your stories through different creative activities.

ACCA are Leeds based dance theatre duo Anna Cabré-Verdiell Bosch and Charlotte Arnold. Led by two female-identifying creative leaders, ACCA makes work that reflects and comments on the contemporary society via funny, thought-provoking dance theatre performances and participation activities. Their style has a physical backbone, drawing on character and conceptuality to investigate the topics which inspire each project. 

Leeds-based dance company VERVE is set to present a breathtaking triple bill of works this season, exploring new creative territories and approaches. The company will look to inspire, provoke and captivate audiences with each performance as it embarks on an 18-date international tour, starting with a world premiere at the Riley Theatre in Leeds on 1st and 2nd March 2024.

To celebrate Arts Council Collection’s latest touring exhibition, Found Cities, Lost Objects curated by Lubaina Himid CBE and on display until 21 April 2024, Leeds Art Gallery is inviting submissions from Leeds-based artists to create a billboard artwork or design.

Aire Place Studio (APS), a disabled and queer artist-led community interest company, faces the threat of losing our studio space and gallery due to the building being sold to developers.
