Who’s been sitting in my chair?
Date/Time
14 June 2021 - 31 July 2021
Venue Leeds Museums & Galleries
We are working with The Perky Painter to find out just who has been sitting in our chairs!
Taking inspiration from our vast and varied chair collection across Leeds Museums & Galleries, we invite you to get involved with our community drawing project, all about sitting down!
The Challenge
– Visit any Leeds Museums and Galleries site
– Pick your favourite chair from the collections
– Photograph or sketch your chair
– Imagine ‘Who’s been sitting in my chair?’
– Draw your chair and historic sitter
– Share your drawings and photos with us through social media with the hashtag #MyChairLeeds
