With less than 6 months to go before the 2012 Olympic Games, Leeds is well into its preparations to host teams from China, Russia, the Netherlands, Australia and Canada. We will be recruiting a volunteer workforce to support the teams throughout the duration of their visit and to get involved in helping to run some of the cultural events being held in the city. We will be interviewing and recruiting volunteers from April 16-May 11th and the main requirement for people to help will be in the three months of June July and August. Leeds has a significant events programme leading up to the Olympics and we will need the continued support of volunteers during this time.

The Young Curators will work together to devise and organise an art exhibition. They will explore what can be considered an exhibition space (from galleries to empty shops, art in the public realm to virtual spaces) and will use this experience to inform their own collaborative project.
