More than a gallery experience; BasementArtsProject is about becoming part of a family, a real one that resides in and around a permanent art space.
Too art for community too community for art.

दर्शन was the first non-English title that we have used at BasementArtsProject and, just like buses, two come along at once.
The next exhibition is drawn from the Welsh language. Tirweddau Dychmugol-Faesiol is an exhibition by Leeds based studio holder at Serf Seren Oakley
We hope you can join us…
