In 2024 and 2025 Assembly House has continued to grow and provide successful and engaging work, which has all been free or low cost to remove financial barriers to access. We have completed: - A core programme of exhibitions over the whole year, totalling 6 brand-new exhibitions from early career artists from Leeds and the surrounding areas. These exhibitions provide early career artists with free space and staff expertise and support, which are their first professional shows and are vital opportunities, which would be hard to come by otherwise. These have been engaged with by 1000 audience members. - Gave away 1500 hours of free space usage to local artists. - A member's group show, offering the opportunity for all of our members work to be platformed, with an audience of 200 people and 50 early career artists involved. - The pilot year of a new partnership between Leeds Art Fund, Leeds Art Gallery and Assembly House, called Accelerator, which provides a year-long residency, support and professional development for 3 creative graduates. This is now moving into a second year due to its success. - Another year of involvement with Kirkstall Art Trail, Leeds Open Studios and Armley Festival, engaging with 3000 local people from Armley, across Leeds and West Yorkshire - Another year of our non-traditional, open level life drawing class, engaging with over 1500 people - A cultural exchange with eco-arts organisation EWERK Luckenwalde, in Germany - Hosted a series of talks and workshops, covering creative and work skills based topics in response to community consultation. - Hosted a film screening of a local filmmaker, as part of the film's national tour. We have begun, and will be continuing: - A project to turn a previously derelict outdoor space into a community garden and community kiln, which has completed phase one and will be moving into phase 2 in Spring 2026. - A second year of the bursary, mentoring and space hire provision for the Accelerator Bursary project.
