Leeds Arts University Exhibition Spaces

Due to the current advice from the government around COVID-19, we have postponed all exhibitions until further notice.

Leeds Arts University has a large and exciting exhibitions programme held at both our Blenheim Walk and Vernon Street sites.

Exhibitions are a major platform of Curation and Library Services at Leeds Arts University, with a dynamic programme of peer-reviewed research-practice across our two campuses and satellite display spaces. A new bespoke university gallery opened in January 2019 showcasing a range of internationally renowned cultural figures such as Yoko Ono, Ilana Halperin and Mieke Bal as well as internal research on creature design by Rosemary Chalmers, consumer culture research by Dawn Woolley, and an experimental graduate project by performance artist and writer Samra Mayanja.
