About me

Anna Tonks

Creative and highly motivated University graduate, with extensive experience demonstrating a wide range of skills in many areas,

After graduating form Leeds University in 2006 I have spent the last year running a small arts space in Leeds city centre 'theartmarket' which Opened in December 2006. 'Theartmarket' is a new artist-led initiative in the heart of Leeds, this gallery/shop/studio hybrid located in units 7/8 of the Merrion Market provides a new artist-led platform and antithesis to the archetypal commercial gallery. This 'diy' project offers both emerging, emerged and re-emerging artists an alternative place, to the existing institutional and commercial exhibition spaces. We encourage art in the community through artist led workshops and bi-weekly exhibitions produced by local artist. We design media and run workshops for local arts organisations.
