2025 LEEDS SUMMER GROUP SHOW
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Leeds Summer Group Show, an open-call exhibition founded in 2015. What began as a small independent exhibition has grown into a much-anticipated annual showcase, providing a platform for emerging and established artists alike. We’re delighted to return to Leeds Playhouse, a vibrant cultural venue in the heart of Leeds city centre. With its commitment to creativity, accessibility and community, it provides the perfect setting for this eclectic exhibition.
Many of the works are available to purchase, offering you a chance to support artists directly and begin or grow your collection. For enquiries, please use the online contact form. The exhibition is open 3-23 July at Leeds Playhouse.
