Holbeck Urban Village (HUV) art workshops

Several art workshops will be delivered in Holbeck Urban Village (HUV), Holbeck and Beeston areas of Leeds, in May, June and July 2008.


These series of arts projects have been developed in order to ensure that both the cultural development of HUV is advanced through both participative arts workshops and also the incorporation of art into the physical fabric of the area.

The historical legacy of the area, reflected in the architecture, spaces and streets can be brought to the fore by the exploration of this history by the artists and ultimately by its incorporation within the environment. This could explore the potential of the a ‘trial’ of artefacts through HUV, and the creation of ‘hidden’ gems which people have to try and find.

The workshops also provide an opportunity to make links with local people for then to express their past, present and future with regards to their area.
