Art for everyone

Community Art Clubs provide a place where individuals and families come together and develop their creative expression. People who attend will try new artistic techniques, experiment with different materials and learn new skills. As the club is open to the entire community, members encourage each other, share ideas and diversify their work through collaboration.

Each session provides members with access to materials for painting, printing, drawing and sculpture. There is always an opportunity for people to share their own personal narratives through their own artwork.

The location

The art clubs will be held at the Miners Welfare Hall in Garforth, the address is 56 Main Street, Garforth, Leeds LS25 1AA.

Open to everyone

Everyone is welcome at Community Art Club. These are free session funded by Leeds City Council through the Leeds Cultural Investment Programme. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Community art club is also a great space for people who work or volunteer in roles where they are required to be creative. People can explore their creativity and play with ideas that might relate to their community vocations. These opportunities might enrich wider community engagements and other groups and facilities.
