Our canvas is Leeds, our buildings and streets, our people, our artists, our arts companies


We will prepare this canvas every four years for as far into the future as we can imagine

inviting major artists to Yorkshire, to do something slightly different from what they normally do


Canvas 2012 will be directed by The Brothers Quay


They will play with us and a team of Yorkshire artists to create something that will change the way you see the city

something you will remember as part of your being here, in Leeds, in Yorkshire


So, what’s our idea?  Who are we?  Who are the Brothers Quay?
