The 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 at a moment when the Turner Prize is shining a national spotlight on us.

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.
