Building Enterprise through the Arts.

artsmix* has a unique programme of art markets, events, workshops, exhibitions a Christmas Catalogue and welcome a new team member - all to spread a little cheer at this festive time of year.

artsmix* - more than a market

The now weekly (Sundays 11.00-16.00) ‘artsmix* @ The Loft – original art market’ is attracting a wide range of different types of artist, with many of the hundreds of visitors picking up some real and unusual bargains for Christmas. With cards, gifts and decorations starting from a s little as £1 up to pieces of amazing art for over £1000, there’s something for everyone (including yourself) and no excuse to not be original this Christmas. The venue also includes a gallery and a café/restaurant, offering our special ‘Eat your art out’ menu. This is a truly exciting development for Leeds and those who visit the City on Sundays.

Additionally we have also taken our travelling markets to Pudsey Market Place (where our next outdoors market will be Sunday 07/12/08) and Thackray Museum and we will be holding a special event at Brewery Wharf on Saturday 06/12/08 with market stalls and choirs. We look forward to seeing you.

There’s still time to place orders from our Christmas Catalogue gives you an opportunity to purchase original Christmas gifts. The catalogue offers bespoke items made by local emerging artists.

Making an Exhibition – or 2!

We are delighted to be hosting two very original and exciting exhibitions this December:

arts@Trinity – 04-12 December (Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds). The core of this unusual exhibition features the work of local artists Giles Edsall, Oliver Neilson, Miriam Laville, Bruce Rimell and Sarah Hughes. Each artist has made unique ‘site responsive’ artwork relating to the scale, architecture (structural & furniture) and function of the unique church/exhibition space.

Tiger 11 – until January 2009 (Hillside, Beeston Road, Leeds). Showcasing a range of work by Yorkshire based artists who are part of our artsmix* 4 Business offer and includes Bruce Rimell's specially commissioned Triptych, 'Bees Magic and Holy Beck' – an aerial landscape that captures the geographic, historic and demographic landscape of Beeston and Holbeck, in Bruce's very unique and humorous style!
