We’ve got a blog!
It’s been two years since we transformed this converted seed warehouse on the oldest street in Leeds and opened our doors to tourists and travellers from around the world! This place is the brainchild of the directors of East Street Arts, who as avid travellers and lovers of European-style hostel life, saw a gap in the accommodation offered in Leeds. We have added to the lower-budget offering in the city centre whilst doing what we do best: supporting local and international artists.
We’ve been thinking for a while that there should be a way to stay in touch with the growing number of people that are now connected to us, from live-in volunteers to guests and ever increasing artists that have been involved in the hostel.
This is your glimpse into the life and times of the hostel and the constantly evolving community we host. We will be using this blog to keep you informed of all the activity of the hostel, past and present, as well as any large developments as we begin to think about possible futures for the hostel and the transformation of Kirkgate. The Art Hostel Project Space has become a firm part of the independent and DIY art scene of Leeds, helping emerging artists develop their arts practice, so expect a snapshot of this growing activity.
So, welcome to the wonderful and colourful world of Art Hostel!
Contact us, if you have remarks, we love hearing from you.
