Left Bank Leeds is pleased to announce a call for submissions for our first exhibition in 2025! We are inviting you to share your vision of the future— maybe you will re-imagine our world, your local neighborhood or your own life. Your work can be as personal or as expansive as you want -and we welcome submissions for this exhibition in all mediums.

More about our theme…

For this exhibition we are asking you to reflect on and re-imagine the world as it could be - whether you think globally, locally or within your own experience. To begin this year, we want to explore what the future holds or what it could look like if you had the power to shape it.

You can show us a glimpse into your hopes, dreams, or challenges - or maybe you want to address larger social, political, or environmental issues. From imagined utopias to honest realities lets create a world of possibilities with this exhibition.
