Our Patch: Shared Ground
Our Patch
An exhibition celebrating the creativity of Bradford's communities
Our Patch has delivered collaborative, creative projects across the whole of Bradford for UK City of Culture. Here are just some of the beautiful things people made.
Find out more about how Bradford 2025 uncovered and nurtured creativity in the heart of communities. Our Patch creative practitioners worked in partnership with local people to make the things, events and experiences they wanted for themselves and their neighbours. See some of the paintings, sculptures, books and banners that were made and find out more about how Our Patch took the UK City of Culture directly to people, wherever they were.
And join us on Tuesday 24 February, 3.00pm to 7.00pm to have a go at some creative activities at the family friendly Our Patch Makery.
Our Patch
Our Patch is a major creative programme for the people of Bradford, celebrating over a year of activity and now looking ahead with excitement to what lies beyond 2025. Since launching in 2024, more than 140 creative projects have taken place, bringing people together to learn skills, make connections, and experience the joy of taking part in art. This is Our Patch.
Our Patch is funded by The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund. We extend our thanks to all players of the National Lottery.
