Location Overview: 

Leeds Arts Union

Community Centres

Open Source Arts- Venue Hire

Studio Space: Suitable as its available for 15-80 people which is a good size for our project.

“This is a bright, warm and airy studio space. This flexible space has an oak sprung dance floor and a softer carpeted floor can be temporarily used on top. Sofas, chairs, tables, or a breakout area can be arranged. This space can be used for movement based practices, conferences, workshops and presentations. The walls are either corkboard (pins allowed) or mirrors.

“Dimensions: 14m x 7m.”

Plenary Space: 

This downstairs space is flexible and ideal for conferences or intimate concerts. The plenary area houses some temporary visual exhibition space.

Dimensions: 11m x 12m. Capacity: 120.

More suitable as it can be used as an exhibition space- to we’d be allowed to stick things onto the wall. I.e. Vinyl Logos etc and posters.

Primary School - Brudenell Primary 

This would be a good way to get into the community and involve families and locals but there are risks and issues with allowing the general public to have access to a primary school. It is not a safe option. 

Exhibition Spaces 

Cardigan Centre - within LS6 and also available for Booking

Noted that most studio spaces have similar, low price ranges but the Main Hall which is the area we would most likely want would be £25 and up for the day, especially as we're considering the weekend.
