Opportunity
Office vacancy
The Tetley currently has a vacant office space for rent on the third floor of our iconic building in the centre of Leeds.
Led by artists, curators, organisations and individuals in Leeds City Region, PANIC! worked to create an artists' network in Leeds in response to the pandemic.
Here, discover the artworks commissioned through project and resources pulled together by the steering group and The Tetley team.
Collectively, the network offered benefits through:
- platforming activities;
- sharing information;
- offering mentoring support;
- and distributing bursaries for practising artists.
The PANIC! Steering Group was made up of seven artist members, three artist advisors and The Tetley Team. They distributed the bursaries and advised, assisted and promoted the PANIC! Network and activity.

To offer opportunities for members to attend network events, such as talks, mentoring sessions and crits, with invited artists, curators, dealers, writers and others
To critically engage and address the entanglements of the axes of power: race, class, disability, gender, sexuality and the complex experiences of situated, self-reflexive diversity among the creative communities of Leeds
