Arts & Minds at Space2 (Quarterly event)
The Arts & Minds Network is a vibrant community connecting people who share a passion for creativity and mental wellbeing. Through art, collaboration, and shared experiences, we support positive mental health and build meaningful connections across Leeds.
Description
Our next quarterly event is coming up soon—and this time, we’re excited to focus on Space 2, a unique creative hub located behind the old fire station on Chapeltown Road in Gipton, Leeds.
Space 2 offers studio space, engaging workshops, and support for creatives and artists of all levels. It’s a warm and welcoming place where creativity blooms and community thrives.
At the event, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in a hands-on creative activity: clay tile printing. We will be foraging plants from the surrounding gardens to use in making the tiles. For anyone with mobility issues, don't worry there will be plenty of plants pre-foraged and ready to use. Since we will be spending some time outdoors, you may want to dress warmly and bring a coat along to the event.
It’s a chance to express yourself artistically while connecting with other Network members.
