Bradford College artwork is part of City of Culture bid

The exhibition - which features work by students at the Bradford School of Art - is now open at City Park.

Bringing to life a ‘cultural map of Bradford,’ this is the culmination of an 18-month project as part of the district’s bid to be UK City of Culture 2025.

More than 40 students studying BA (Hons) Art & Design, BA (Hons) Fashion, and FDA Textiles took part.

The resulting creative works fed into the research behind Bradford’s City of Culture 2025 bid, which was submitted earlier this year.

The exhibition, called Bradford A-Z, is free to visit and will be on display at the Bradford 2025 hub at City Park (beneath the Big Screen) until May 23.

Bradford is one of four places shortlisted to be UK City of Culture 2025.

A City of Culture Expert Advisory Panel, chaired by Sir Phil Redmond, will visit Bradford and the other four shortlisted places before making their final recommendation at the end of May. The winner will be announced this year in Coventry.

Driven by specialist business networks, the FTC creates pathways into employment, higher education, and in-work progression for professionals linked to sustainable construction, digital technology, transport, engineering, and health and medical hubs.

The FTC Hub Expo aims to share a passion for a more sustainable Bradford and promote new career paths linked to future technologies.

Local SMEs, sole traders, and regional businesses can attend the expo on Wednesday May 11 and talk to specialists in sustainability.

Experts from local and national organisations will be on hand to offer guidance about funding, working more sustainably, and how to run a greener business - from the clean air scheme to switching all-electric.

Sustainability representatives will be available on employer stands for Halfords, Bradford Council, the NHS, Morgan Sindall Group PLC (construction & regeneration), Depuy-Synthes GB (part of the Johnson & Johnson family of healthcare medical companies), Procter & Gamble (consumer goods), the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), The University of Bradford, other local colleges, and more.

Come along, talk to Bradford College students, and chat to fellow employers about green technologies, CPD, changing habits, and growing your business as a result of sustainability best practise.
