AN ART gallery that could attract artists from across the country could soon be opening up in a new Bradford development.

Beneath the streets of Bradford city centre, work is taking place to transform a number of Victorian tunnels into the Sunbridge Wells development.

Once complete, the shopping arcade will include independent shops, stalls and cafes. But art will also make up a big part of the development - not only will it host a monthly artist's market, but work is well under way on creating the Sunbridge Wells Gallery, a permanent artistic space that will give up and coming artists a chance to display their work.

The gallery is being headed up by artist Trafford Parsons, who has put out a call for any artists who want to get involved to come forward.

As well as more traditional art, Mr Parsons said the gallery will be eager to embrace 3D art, projections and performance art to create what he describes as a unique experience.

Any artists interested in becoming a part of the gallery can visit its Facebook page on facebook.com/pages/Sunbridgewells-Gallery.
