What's in an art collective? How artists work together
- Date: Monday 9 March 2026, 15:00 – 17:00
- Location: Maurice Keyworth Building, Business School, Maurice Keyworth Building
- Cost: Free
Join us at this symposium where final year undergraduate fine art students will share their research into regional art collectives.
- How do you sustain your artistic practice once you have graduated?
- How do you find out where the opportunities are for funding, commissions, residencies?
- How do you create artistic networks that support you in the ups and downs of being an artist?
To answer these questions, final year fine art students from the University of Leeds have been researching the work of six artist-led organisations around Leeds and Yorkshire including:
Assembly House
Axis
East Street Arts
Sunny Bank Mills
The Art House
Yorkshire and Humber Visual Arts Network (YVAN)
At this event, hear from our students about these regional organisations can support you as an artist and discover how you can sustain your art practice post-graduation by finding artistic networks and opportunities.
This event is organised by students from the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies as part of a Professional Practice module.
It is aimed at all students in the school, particularly fine art students, or those interested in art collectives.
