Throughout 2025, Pyramid worked with Leeds Art Gallery to create Pyramid View On… John Atkinson Grimshaw, a collaborative artistic response to the work of John Atkinson Grimshaw.
Titled Pyramid View On… John Atkinson Grimshaw, the artistic response takes place in the Artspace at Leeds Art Gallery from 14 November 2025 to 19 April 2026. It features artwork created and curated by Pyramid member artists, inspired by the distinctive nocturnal scenes of 19th-century Leeds-born artist John Atkinson Grimshaw.
The project celebrates the atmospheric transition from dusk to night-time, a recurring theme in Grimshaw’s work. Pyramid member artists will also be running workshops in Artspace to support exhibition visitors to create their own Grimshaw-inspired artwork.
Pyramid’s artistic response will run alongside Don’t Let’s Ask For The Moon…: Nocturnes and Atkinson Grimshaw, a major exhibition in the main gallery exploring nocturnal themes in Grimshaw’s work and contemporary responses.
