We’re taking a look at contemporary artworks by women artists in the Bradford District Museums and Galleries collection.
In this blog, Lowri, our Curator of Collections invites us to take a closer look at two new ceramic pots, created specially for Bradford District Museums and Galleries by ceramicist Emilie Taylor
Our latest exhibition at Bradford Industrial Museum is gorgeous photography by Neil Horsley, looking at the repurposing and re-use of Mill Buildings. He kindly agreed to write this blog for about the project.
Dale Keeton, our talented conservator, who made it all look spectacular and Ernest, our wonderful volunteer provide some additional insights into the exhibition
Due to generous funding from The Arts Council England/V&A Purchase Grant Fund and The Friends of Bradford Art Galleries and Museums, Bradford District Museums and Galleries has an exciting new acquisition in its collection – a preparatory sketch of The Polar Star by William Shackleton.
Our newest exhibition at Cliffe Castle has just opened to visitors. In this blog Lowri, our Collections curator gives us an insight into the exhibition.
Bradford District Museums and Galleries worked with visual artist and designer Rhian Kempadoo-Millar as our Guest Curator/Artist on an Arts Council-supported project. As Rhian’s residency came to an end with us, this blog celebrates the process and result, a textile installation titled ‘New Lands – Hidden Hands’.
In 2023, Dr Lauren Padgett, Assistant Curator of Collections, worked closely with Keighley Art Club to co-curate a temporary exhibition celebrating the Club’s history, spanning over 100 years.
Dale, our collections officer gives an insight into the preparation for this exhibition
