Exhibitions Archive
Throughout our galleries we have exhibited a range of diverse artists.
With over twenty years of experience, we have grown our gallery space from the single Balcony Gallery to three larger galleries built in 2015. Each space offers artists the chance to express their work and bring communities together through art. To learn more contact us at arts-centre@leicester.ac.uk
