The Bradford Art Show 2025

Bradford Art Show is a celebration of the District’s vibrant and diverse visual arts, platforming and recognising local people’s experiences and creative voices, while the world-renowned Turner Prize exhibition is on display at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery

The exhibition is curated from an open call responding to the theme OUR PLACE. Submissions were invited from anyone aged 18 and over living or working in Bradford District and engaging with visual arts, whether or not they consider themselves a professional artist. Over 160 applications were received from which 124 works by 105 artists were selected by a panel made up of Chris Cambell (Artist and Poet), Dr Kerry Harker (Curator, Bradford Art Show), Mussarat Rahman (Artist, Maker and Founder of Intercultured Festival) and Aamta Tul Waheed (Artist).

This year’s exhibition is curated by independent curator and researcher Dr Kerry Harker.
