Introducing you to Leeds Arts Union Exhibitions & Events! 🖼️

Here at Leeds Arts Union our exhibition programme aims to give all students the opportunity to showcase and celebrate their creative practice. We run these throughout the year, exploring a variety of themes and disciplines. 🎤 🎭📽️ 🎨

This year we are hoping to run 2 on site exhibitions in BW Cafe!

All of our exhibition call outs and creative opportunities for the new year will be posted on our Instagram page and sent directly into your student inboxes.

Each exhibition is hosted either in the University building or at an accessible, independent venue in the city and will usually be opened with a launch party, allowing fellow students to view the artwork, talk to attendees about exhibited pieces and have a drink with friends to celebrate the exhibition!

So how do our LAU Societies work? ⁉️

All Leeds Arts University societies are run by students, for students and offer a wide range of activities to try. All our on site society events will be listed on the What's On Page - so we recommend checking this regularly.

Check out our societies website page and get following society Instagrams to receive updates from your Society Leaders.

Alternatively we will also be running the Freshers Fair on Wednesday the 16th of September if you want to have a look and meet the Society Leaders in person.
