Bradford Students Exhibit Artwork Celebrating Community

A new exhibition titled 'Our Bradford' has opened at the Dye House Gallery, featuring artworks from students across 40 schools in Bradford. The exhibition, which runs until January 30, 2025, showcases 2D pieces honoring local figures and 3D works representing the district's geography. Key artworks include portraits of magician Dynamo and cricketer Adil Rashid, alongside sculptures of local landmarks. This initiative, led by Jo Poole and Tony Bullock, aims to celebrate Bradford's designation as the UK City of Culture for 2025, fostering community pride among students. In parallel, schools are engaging in various art projects that enhance creativity and community engagement, such as collages and murals addressing themes like local heritage and veterans' contributions. Overall, these art initiatives are seen as vital for children's development and community cohesion.
