A BRADFORD school celebrated its history and legacy with an art exhibition.
Carlton Bolling on Undercliffe Lane, Bradford, showcased a spectacular exhibition, delving into the rich history of the institution dating back as far as the 1850s.
The event seamlessly blended relics from the past with contemporary art inspired by the school's inspirational journey.
The exhibition, titled 'Carlton Bolling, the past and the future' transported visitors into a bygone era with a stunning array of artifacts meticulously preserved from 1850.
Vintage record keeping books, news cuttings, and well-preserved photos allowed attendees to step back in time and witness the school's evolution over the decades.
As visitors wandered through the historical artifacts, they were then guided into a space adorned with breathtaking art pieces created by the school's talented staff and students. Inspired by the school's legacy and the stories encapsulated within its walls, the art exhibit featured paintings, sculptures, and multimedia installations that captured the essence of the institution's journey.
