ABOUT LIVE ART BISTRO
Live Art Bistro (LAB) is an artist led curatorial project based in Leeds. The aim of LAB is to support and develop Live Art practices for the benefit of artists, audiences and community groups and to explore alternative models of cultural production, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. LAB aims to be reflective of and responsive to the needs of artists working within Live Art and Contemporary Performance both on a local and national level.
LAB is currently in residence at Enjoy Artspace, Mabgate, Leeds and for one night only will occupy Holy Trinity Church. The long term aim of LAB is to open a permanent and dedicated venue for Live Art practice in Leeds.
