OUR TURN: Bradford Art Show
A dynamic exhibition of artwork from artists across Bradford responding to the theme of Our Place.
Bradford Art Show is part of OUR TURN, a new visual arts festival for Bradford.
The exhibition has been curated from an open call for submissions in response to the theme of OUR PLACE. Work has been submitted by anyone creating visual art – painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, film, textiles – whether they consider themselves professional artists or not. Responses to the theme have been varied and fascinating – creating an exhibition of diverse, bold and exciting work which we hope will inspire visitors and present an authentic vision of creativity in Bradford now.
This year’s exhibition is curated by independent curator and researcher Dr Kerry Harker.
