Profile Information
- Location:
- Keighley, West Yorkshire
- About Me:
- KAF opened in 1999 with funds from the Keighley Social Regeneration Budget. Since that time it has been supported by Keighley College and now Park Lane College to the extent that the gallery and studio space enrich the experience of the local community. As a result, Keighley has a new type of municipal art gallery and community creative space. KAF is centrally located on North Street and incorporates not only the new gallery but also Hand Made at KAF and an artists' studio. For more information, contact the Keighley Arts Factory on 01535 685060
KAF is Keighley's only contemporary arts space, promoting artists who work in fine art, print, photography, textiles, ceramic, glass and installation.
We are part of Park Lane College and we host 7 exhibitions a year, including our annual Open Exhibition, showcasing contemporary artists. We also hire out the gallery for events and meetings. We have a large artist's studio available for use by local artists and we deliver free seminars on arts business.
KAF has strong links with schools and community groups and work with the local community on arts based projects. We have specialists in film, photography, drama, art and applied arts.
