What do you get when you mix baby sensory with an art exhibition?

For Baby Week Leeds, Tetley Associate Artist Beatrice Lee Knowles presents an interactive, colourful art installation especially for little ones.

The Atrium is transformed into a sensory, engaging space for babies, mixing food and messy play.

This installation, co-commissioned by LEEDS 2023 and The Tetley, coincides the artist’s residency as part of The Tetley’s Associate Artist programme (TAAP).

Supported by LEEDS 2023
