A community project in West Leeds invites locals to contribute ideas for a new creative space in Armley
Leeds: A new community project is brewing in Armley, and it’s all about creativity. The Highrise Project is on a mission to create a vibrant space where locals can come together for events, workshops, and exhibitions.
This space aims to be a hub for connection and collaboration. Imagine a place where artists and makers can find affordable studio spaces to work on their projects. Sounds great, right?
Louise Atkinson and Victoria Kortekaas are the brains behind this initiative. They’ve been working with residents in Leeds since 2019, focusing on sharing stories and reducing isolation through art and tech.
To make this vision a reality, they’ve launched a survey. They want to hear from local residents and community groups about what features and facilities are most important to them.
Louise and Victoria are eager to understand the community’s needs. They said, “We want to develop a model that serves the whole community.” So, if you have ideas, don’t hold back!
Check out the survey and share your thoughts. It’s a chance to help shape a space that could really benefit everyone in Armley.
