RUSHBOND
The Art Court is thrilled to be collaborating with Rushbond, the Yorkshire based property developers specialise in refurbishing and redeveloping heritage buildings. We are using the stunning First White Cloth Hall in Leeds City Centre as a temporary gallery space. The Grade II* list building was first opened in 1711 as a covered hall for traders to sell undyed (white) cloth. Much of it had recently stood derelict until the Rushbond Group bought it and restored the building.
The first exhibition we are curating in the space is Beyond Colours From Life. Presenting colour and contemporary art in such a historic space which was once centred around the trading of white cloth provides such contrast but what a complimentary contrast it is! Works exhibited are for sale and can be viewed via the online catalogue or in person.
