Open Source Arts

Head down to Kirkstall Road and you'll find yourself in Aire Place Mills, a proper converted warehouse that's become a proper hub for Leeds' creative types. Open Source Arts isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a space run by and for artists who actually care about what they're doing. You'll wander through studios, catch exhibitions, and stumble into events that feel genuinely thought-through rather than algorithmically generated. It's the kind of place where you bump into people making things, not just talking about making things.
