Leap Then Look create interactive artworks, participatory projects, workshops and events. Working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and cognitive differences creating vivid experiences of contemporary art in all its forms; sculpture, photography, film, performance, mark-making and installation. Their focus is on working together, inspiring playfulness, inquisitiveness and experimentation. They believe that contemporary art practice should and can be made available and accessible to everyone and that all benefit from engaging with new ways of looking, making and thinking.
