The LEEDS 2023 Year of Culture has further platformed the exceptional creative and cultural talent in the city and facilitated multiple opportunities to boost its creative economy. Leeds is a very special place. Its history, the people and the buildings, are all testament to a city with a rich heritage that has evolved through the many generations of talented people who all call it ‘home’. This abundance of cultural activity and pride cannot be sustained without a passionate, knowledgeable, connected, and experienced creative community. We hope that this platform can be of support to those who are keen to gain and continue building their experience and networks in the creative industries.
