Upcoming BADS events
Our BEYOND Artist Development Scheme (BADS) continues at a pace!
The current four artists taking part in the scheme (Jem Clancy, Howard Haigh, Stephen Harvey and Andrew Towse) are exhibiting work at Swarthmore’s coffee bar until 27 June. We welcome you to join us next week in celebration of Towse’s very successful Ready for Take-Off exhibition at Leeds Industrial Museum, and have news about Harvey’s new exhibition, ROAR, opening at Archive next month.

Stephen Harvey
Stephen Harvey is coming to the end of his time on the BEYOND Artist Development Scheme and is excited to be showing some new work.
Harvey creates work with text, letter press and fabrics, which often express his frustrations around his lack of independence, and the difficulties that people with disabilities experience in accessing good care and support.
The exhibition, ROAR, opens on 05 July at Archive. On 06 July we will be hosting a launch event, with a screening of a short film about Harvey and his work, and a themed inclusive arts activity.
