Situation Leeds supports visual arts across the city, creating opportunities for artists to connect, share work, and collaborate.
The monthly Situation Leeds Network provides a space for discussion, skill-sharing, and feedback, welcoming all stages of practice and any medium.
Alongside this, Situation Leeds Festival develops public-facing projects and events, building on a 20-year legacy of artist-led activity in the city.
Together, the network and festival help strengthen the city's creative community, increase the visibility of visual arts, and provide platforms for experimentation, collaboration, and engagement.
Situation Leeds is supported by Hyde Park Book Club and Yorkshire & Humber Visual Arts Network (YVAN).
Situation Leeds Network
The Situation Leeds Network is a series of monthly meetings where visual artists can introduce themselves and their work, and make connections with other practitioners in the city. The aim is to create a network of creatives who support each other by sharing skills, knowledge and contacts, and by giving feedback on ideas. Work in progress is welcome, as are completed works or projects in any medium.
The network is an inclusive space, and meetings are open to everyone at any stage of their artistic practice. If you join us to present or listen, we ask that you follow our guidelines.
If you would like to present, you can sign up for a ten-minute slot via the email reminder or our Instagram post. Guidelines for presenters are linked above.
Situation Leeds Network aims to increase the visibility of the visual arts in Leeds through grassroots collaboration. We hope to work together towards future outcomes, such as a festival or other arts event, in line with Situation Leeds' broader aim as an organisation that celebrates the visual arts in the city.
