1st October - 30th October 2022
Lullabies In Lockdown is a group illustration exhibition showcasing the work of several local, national and international artists who became parents during the Covid pandemic.
Running through October as part of Vessel, the show explores how illustration can be used to make topics accessible: to document, share, unite and advocate for those having lived an experience. It intends to uncover quieter or untold stories around navigating parenthood during the pandemic as well as celebrate the tender moments, precious times and lives of the babies who stayed at home.
Featuring work from Nele Anders, Jenna Lee Alldread, Ruth Batham, Pia Bramley, Lizzie Bhushan, Charlotte Dryden-Kelsey, Beth Duggleby, Isabel Greenberg, Jessika Green, Matthew Hodson, Kim Jihyun, Lorna Johnstone, Sabba Khan, Benjamin Mills, Kate Pankhurst, Bryony Pritchard, Alice Socal, Joanna Spicer and Lilly Williams.
Co-curated with Beth Duggelby and supported by Leeds Inspired.

This is a chance for those hoping to launch their career as a maker or textile artist to exhibit and sell their work amongst professional artists and small businesses with less pressure and financial stress!
Emerging Makers stalls have been an absolute hit at our last two print fairs, and were an invaluable experience for the lucky participants. Photographed here are a couple of emerging printmakers from Leeds Art University at this year's Printed Bound.

DEADLINE - Midnight on Sunday 12th May.

They are seated directly behind the table, which is covered with a variety of prints and zines that have been produced by students at Leeds Arts University. There are free standing wire racks to their side of their heads, which are being used to display more prints, attached to the racks with wooden pegs. Suspended between the two racks, is a string of brightly coloured.]
