BD: Walls
We turned the streets into galleries for Bradford 2025.
BD: Walls was an ambitious exhibition with a difference: the gallery being Bradford District itself.
We invited street artists from home and abroad to create new works on walls across Bradford District – paying vibrant tribute to our heritage while celebrating our dynamic street art culture.
BD: Walls opened in July 2024 with a major work from Polish artist NeSpoon in Bradford city centre. New artworks appeared during 2025 across the district.
BD: Walls helped build the next generation of street artists. Our Talent Development Programme brought together leading figures from the street art world with some of the district’s established and emerging artists, who had the chance to showcase their own creations on walls across Bradford.
