Last week was half-term and I finally managed to get away for a couple of days to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I also managed to pick up a new, two day a week, job and open a new exhibition here at #BasementArtsProject

दर्शन was the first non-English title that we have used at BasementArtsProject and, just like buses, two come along at once.
The next exhibition is drawn from the Welsh language. Tirweddau Dychmugol-Faesiol is an exhibition by Leeds based studio holder at Serf Seren Oakley
We hope you can join us…

Then a quick stop at Henry More Institute as I realised that I had not yet seen the British Land Art display.
I also dropped some recent archive material relating to Phee Jefferies exhibition at Basement into the library for the Artist’s Files.

BasementArtsProject is not just an asset to the local community but also the educational community.
On Wednesday I took a group of MA Fine Art students on a tour of our projects here in South Leeds.

BasementArtsProject has been running for 14years here in South Leeds. We have achieved a lot on very little, and predominantly from our own pockets and the artists that have elected to work with us.
But… we are currently running on fumes.
We are looking for sponsors.
