2026 LEEDS SUMMER GROUP SHOW

Leeds Summer Group Show is an open call exhibition founded in 2015. What began as a small independent project has grown into an annual showcase, providing a platform for emerging and established artists from across the UK to present their work to audiences in Leeds.

We’re pleased to return to Leeds Playhouse, a vibrant cultural venue in the heart of the city. With its commitment to creativity, accessibility and community, it offers an ideal setting for this diverse and wide-ranging exhibition.

The exhibition runs 1–30 May and forms part of this year’s Situation Leeds, a city-wide programme taking place across two weeks in May, situating the show within a broader celebration of contemporary art and culture.

Many of the works are available to purchase, offering an opportunity to support artists directly and to begin or develop a collection. For enquiries, please use the online contact form.
