Propose an exhibition

The purpose of this exhibitions framework is to inform our future exhibitions programme. It is a clear and transparent approach that can be shared with potential co-curators, partners, artists and members of the public.

The framework covers the temporary exhibitions and semi-permanent displays at The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery and the Treasures of the Brotherton Gallery, which are part of the Libraries at the University of Leeds. 

This framework does not cover our digital exhibitions. We are trialling various approaches to digital exhibitions, as resources and capacity allow. This strand will be developed further in the future as the University's Digital Library Infrastructure Project (DLIP) develops. 

Galleries’ statement of purpose

We are a socially-minded organisation that makes a positive impact in the lives of our audiences and local communities. Situated at the heart of the University of Leeds, we connect people around the world with our globally significant collections, while reflecting on the most important issues of our time. We put our audiences at the centre of what we do.
