We are so excited to have found a permanent home for the Art Hostel. We want to transform the building into a truly unique, affordable space for Leeds visitors and residents to enjoy, that’s even bigger and better than the Kirkgate hostel! To achieve this ambitious goal, we have launched a crowdfunding campaign and we need your support.
It is the art that makes the Art Hostel so very special. Its vibrant and varied rooms provide the exciting and unconventional experience that our guests have come to know and love. All the money raised by the crowdfunding campaign will go straight to paying artists fees and materials to realise their extraordinary ideas for each room. For those of you who haven’t seen what we created last time and to give an idea of what your money will go toward making, here’s a little look at the rooms of our fab Kirkgate hostel!
Those of you who stayed or visited the Kirkgate hostel will know just how special the Art Hostel really is and the scale of what we are trying to accomplish. It isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a home for volunteers from around the world, a place to make and show work, call in for a Tuesday tea or take part in Pay-As-You-Feel yoga. It’s a place for you. Which is why we need your support.
By donating, you’ll be helping to create a unique, creative space in the city for all and obviously, you’ll get the warm glow of being a generous human being. As well as this, we also have a selection of awesome perks available (just if you need another incentive!), from funky badges to snazzy t-shirts to designing your very own Art Hostel room! Find out all the fantastic perks available on our crowdfunding page.
If you can’t spare any cash, do not worry, you can still be a huge help to us by spreading the word! Tell a friend, shout in the street, give us a tweet, share our post on Facebook or mention us on Instagram. All support is very much appreciated.
