Artists have an extra week to make their submissions for Kirkstall Art Trail. The deadline for submissions via CuratorSpace has been extended to Tuesday, 9 April 2024.
Established artists, those just starting out, crafters, workshop facilators, and those who have that one friend who’s creations should be shared with the wide-world, they all have time to get their submission in via Kirkstall Art Trail’s CuratorSpace page.Â
There are some other opportunities available during the weekend of Kirkstall Art Trail. There are two community art projects, a poetry trail, and a photography competition Capturing Kirkstall.
Kirkstall Art Trail was recently awarded funding for the 2024 event from Leeds City Council’s Inner West Leeds Community Committee. The organising group are looking for businesses to provide sponsorship to help support the event which attracted more than 1,400 visitors in 2023.
Reflecting on their involvement with Kirkstall Art Trail, Mindy Goose said: “For me, as a person who has become disabled and consequently unable to work, it has given me purpose. I also love feeling like I’m a real part of the community, that I have value!”
Kirkstall Art Trail takes place on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 July 2024 between 11am-5pm, with venues across Kirkstall hosting artists and workshops. KAT2024 is a free event, maps will be available during the week to help visitors make their way around.
