Founded in 2013 by university graduates, Assembly House is an artist-led organisation based in Leeds, home to over 40 permanent studio-holders and two project spaces split across two sites.

Assembly House Studios is situated in a Victorian textiles mill, along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, and hosts the organisation’s flagship project space and 17 large open-plan studio spaces. Lady Beck occupies a three-story space on Mabgate, with a project space and a range of open plan and self-enclosed studio spaces.

A monthly programme of exhibitions and events runs across both sites, as well as an annual graduate residency.
