We are delighted to once again be hosting a new exhibition of site responsive mixed media drawings & paintings, photography, stain glass and audio visual work by some of our most accomplished up an coming artists, including new work from award winning Oliver Neilson at arts@trinity, Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds.

The exhibition is open Tuesday – Saturday 4th-19th June 12-4pm, why not take a break from your shopping or if working in the centre of Leeds nip down in your lunch our to appreciate some of our local artistic talent.
