About me:
Opened in December 2006, theartmarket is a new artist-led initiative in the heart of Leeds. Set up by local artists Zoe Sawyer and Anna Tonks this gallery/shop/studio hybrid, located in units 7/8 of the Merrion Market, provides a new artist-led platform and antithesis to the archetypal commercial gallery. A non-profit space, run by volunteers and supported by the incorporated shop space and the small artist submission fee, the gallery enables a point of access to the art market and artscene for new art and artists. This 'diy' project offers both emerging, emerged and re-emerging artists an alternative place, to the existing institutional and commercial exhibition spaces to show work within Leeds city centre. Hopefully encouraging artistic growth within the city.
