Ten unique large-scale artworks are set to celebrate history, life, and culture in Leeds as a new outdoor exhibition opens on Neville Street.
The artworks, displayed on the eastern wall of Neville Street, are all produced by locally based artists and focus on past, present, and future culture, industrial heritage, music, nature, and Leeds people with particular emphasis on communities within the south of the city.

A companion webpage for each artwork has also been developed, with access to information about the artist and a video explaining the inspiration and methodology behind their work.
