Cafe Artistique is an initiative developed by Axis
to stimulate discussion and critical debate in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.

Two events in September and October 2008 accompany Ways of Looking: a month of photography in Leeds and Bradford.
| | | Bradford, 25 September, 2008 Venue: Impressions Gallery, Bradford, from 6pm With guest speaker Gerry Fialka, who set up the PXL THIS film festival in California. |
|  | | Leeds, 14 October, 2008 Venue: The Engine House Cafe, 7.30pm 'The Validity of Photography within Contemporary Practice', with guest speaker Patrick Henry (Director, Open Eye Gallery) in conversation with Dr Derek Horton. |
Cafe Artistique, as part of Ways of Looking, is brought to you by Lumen, Impressions Gallery, Leeds Met Gallery, and Axis.
Cafe Artistique involves a key-note speaker invited to give a short presentation on a theme, which is then opened up for debate. These are evening events, held at informal venues (cafe/bar) and a local artist is commissioned to respond to each discussion. Events are free, and all interested are welcome.
Listen to what was said and see each artist-in-residence's response to the previous events.
Including why Heath Bunting was arrested on his way to Cafe Artistique;
a grilling with Sacha Craddock; whether Mark McGowan was speaking the truth, and lots more.
... even more Cafe Artistique events will take place in 2008
