Moving FAQs

Frequently asked questions

• Why have you left the building?

  Our lease ends in March 2024 and The Tetley contemporary art gallery is no longer part of the long term plans for Aire Park.

  Our public programme in the building ended in December 2023.

  Head to our Archive to take a look at our ten year history of exhibitions and events in The Tetley building.

• What’s happening to the building?

  Aire Park have shared their plans on their website here. For all enquiries about the future of the The Tetley building, please contact Aire Park: https://airepark.co.uk/contact-us/

• Are you relocating?

  We had planned to open a new venue in Leeds city centre in 2024 but these plans are no longer viable.

  Whilst we search for a new permanent home, we’re continuing to deliver on our mission without a venue – providing opportunities for people to engage with contemporary art locally, nationally and internationally.

• What’s happening in 2024?

  For 2024, our artistic programme has moved off site, including Inside Out, a new participatory art project designed to facilitate children’s play in collaboration with communities and partner organisations in Beeston and Beeston Hill.

  We’re also working with artist Benaiah Matheson on his project Town Island.

  If you’d like to hear more and feed in to our future plans, fill out a survey for a chance to be invited to Food for thought, our visitor feedback event on Thursday 21 March, 6–7pm.

• Are you changing your name?

  To mark a new chapter after our time at The Tetley, we’ll announce a new name and identity later in 2024.

• Will Tiny Tetley Studio stay open?

  Tiny Tetley Studio closed when our public programme ended in December 2023. We’re currently hosting weekly under 5s art and play sessions at Hamara Healthy Living Centre in Beeston. Stay tuned for future updates about our under 5s activities.
