WHAT THE HECK IS ASSEMBLY HOUSE ANYWAYS?
Assembly House is an artist-led community arts organisation, project space and artist studios located in a Victorian mill, alongside the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, in Armley, Leeds.
Since 2013 we have been providing affordable studio spaces, career support for early career artists, developing creative projects in and for our local community, a programme of skills sharing, and commissioning local artists.
What sets us apart is our commitment to showcasing a variety of art forms from both established and up-and-coming artists. We have plenty of great exhibitions planned for this year, so be sure to check back in to see what’s new. We look forward to welcoming you to Assembly House
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
We are passionate about inspiring creativity in our local community. For the last 10 years, our public exhibitions, workshops and activities are designed to do just that. We strive to create a vibrant and welcoming space.
We are passionate about engaging the community with art and creativity and have worked on a number of projects to make this happen. Working with local community groups to create outdoor sculptures, running free workshops for local residents, created murals for the area and last year we held a month-long festival of art, film, food and performance exploring Black British history.
We believe art has the power to bring people together and to evoke emotion and thought.
