The Turner Prize 2025 exhibition showcases work by four of the UK’s best new visual artists – and at our final Turner Lates evening special, their work is joined at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery by the best of Bradford’s creative communities.

Blow off the January blues by trying something new with engaging creative activities, inspired food and mini market all from local artists alongside a featured talk from Turner Prize nominee Mohammed Sami in conversation with Turner Prize 2025 curator Michael Richmond.

Edible Archives presents Textures of the Turner Prize, sweet and savoury canapes inspired by the shapes, colours and forms of the exhibition. Mek Summat are bringing a selection of Bradfords’ best for a mini makers market, plus you can make your own zine with artist Lauren Kelly, and try your hand at drawing challenges with artist Naseem Darbey. Sing up while at a the potters wheel with “Potteraoke”, an unlikely pottery/karaoke mash-up hosted by Mavis and Mabel from the Portland Inn Project.

Mohammed Sami in conversation will be held in Gallery 2, there is a limited audience capacity so entry to this element of the evening will be on a first come first served basis. If you wish to attend the talk head directly to the Gallery 2 entrance on arrival where you will be given a wristband to guarantee entry. Please arrive early to avoid any disappointment.

The galleries will be open during the evening, so you can explore the Turner Prize 2025 exhibition at your leisure.
