About

CLAY is a centre for boundary testing live artworks that provoke, experiment, and promote social change.

CLAY strives to create a community-driven space where audiences, participants and artists can express themselves and see themselves reflected in our work. We aim to improve access to interdisciplinary, contemporary live artworks and experiences and believe Live Art practice has the potential to instigate social change.

We enable the public to experience artistic events that they would not likely encounter elsewhere by presenting works by artists whose practice is harder to define - a type of work that supports risk-taking and experimentation. We are a touring venue, a space to make art and performances, and a home for our Studio Community.

We are a not for profit company located in Leeds City Centre. Looking for a contemporary warehouse-style venue for your event? Hire our space!
