Exhibition Launch: ‘A Decade of Exhibitions’ and ‘Material Worlds: Contemporary Artists and Textiles’ image
Synopsis:

Join us to launch our upcoming exhibitions ‘A Decade of Exhibitions’ and ‘Material Worlds: Contemporary Artists and Textiles’.
 
In 2016, Attenborough Arts Centre opened its new purpose-built galleries, creating a new home for contemporary art in Leicester. Since then, we have welcomed thousands of visitors and hosted a diverse programme of exhibitions by local, national and international artists. Over the past decade, these spaces have become more than galleries — they are places for conversation, community and connection.
 
To mark this special milestone, we are looking back on both the programme, and also the memories and experiences of all those who have engaged with the range of artists and art we have presented and produced. A curated exhibition in our Salmon Gallery titled ‘A Decade of Exhibitions’ will look back at highlights from the past 10 years while inviting you to share your own stories and reflections.
