The Archive in Leeds hosts an exhibition of work by early career artists, including BA Fine Art alumni from the University of Leeds.

At the forefront of A Delicious Garden is the fair treatment of artists; nourishing their artistic practice, supporting creative development and valuing their time.

By paying these early-career artists for their time and work we want to draw attention to how it should be standard practice for artists and creatives to be paid. Exhausted from applying for opportunities and outraged by paying for them, we are carving our own space and highlighting the exploitation of artists and the disregard for the time and effort it takes to establish and maintain an artistic practice.

We want to promote a community-focused approach to the artistic world by facilitating networking and discussions. We hope to bring together creatives of Leeds and provide them with a group they can go to with questions, ideas or goals (because gatekeeping and making art on your own can kind of suck!).

This is why, alongside the exhibition and launch event, we are doing an artist-led workshop on 16 April, and a collaborative event with the Queer Art Collective Double Feature on the 14^th.

Keep your eyes peeled for what's to come!

A Delicious Garden is supported by Leeds Inspired.
