East Street Arts is a contemporary arts organisation in Leeds. Our mission is to focus on the development of artists through our events programme, professional development and studio/facility provision.

We take a holistic approach to working with artists on a professional level to empower them to realise their potential.

East Street Arts provides 78 affordable studios, project space and other resources for visual artists, from three buildings in Leeds. Artist development and networking are key components to building the community associated with ESA. A growing membership, currently approaching 250, involves a wider layer of practitioners and the organisation is developing work with the support of a volunteer team.The organisation maintains a Public Programme and various ongoing projects. In the Current year we are working to launch two artist development initiatives involving group learning and peer-to-peer exchange. A project that will run from a fourth location in the City will incorporate aspects of enterprise development and community engagement.

On a regular basis, ESA invites you to get involved in our activities including artists’ talks, special events, cultural trips and exchanges, debates and publications by:

• coming along to our events
• joining our membership for increased access to ESA resources, facilities and special events
• sending in proposals for event and exhibiting opportunities
