Bradford 2025, Bradford Producing Hub and Yorkshire Contemporary launch Practice: Bradford an artist development programme for artists connected to Bradford

Bradford 2025 UK city of Culture, Bradford Producing Hub and Yorkshire Contemporary are delighted to announce the launch of Practice: Bradford. A highly focussed, tailored intervention designed to accelerate development and professional progression for four talented, early-career visual artists who live, work or make work in Bradford, or have a clear and demonstrable connection to the Bradford district.

Bradford 2025 will help to make Bradford one of the most welcoming places in the UK for artists, producers and creative entrepreneurs to flourish, through international exchanges, development programmes and investment in new cultural hubs.

Practice: Bradford builds on Yorkshire Contemporary and Bradford Producing Hub’s exceptional track records of transformational artistic opportunities through a carefully designed, holistic mix of development funding, mentoring, peer-to-peer reflection/support and network building, culminating in the public presentation of new work.

This special edition of Practice is designed for and with Bradford and delivered in partnership with Bradford Producing Hub. It will add an additional opportunity alongside a planned programme of development and showcases for Bradford’s entire visual arts community.

The deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 16 December 2024.
