Attaining Light is a light installation that reflects on the quiet but powerful role of faith and solidarity in sustaining communities through times of uncertainty. At its centre is a handmade illuminated Lotus, symbolising purity, renewal, and transcendence. Radiating with layered light, Attaining Light is both a memorial and a celebration — a testament to endurance, care, and shared spirit. |
Bradford’s Trapezium Gallery is delighted to present their FOURTH annual Open Exhibition, Turn Up. It is being held at their gallery on Kirkgate in Bradford City centre in the run up to Christmas to compliment the Turner Prize on show at Cartwright Hall and Our Turn, Bradford’s Visual Arts festival which are all taking place at the same time. The exhibition brings together over 150 artworks by over 80 artists and photographers from across the Bradford district with a whole variety of art forms, including drawing, painting, photography, textiles, crafts, 3D and video. Pauline Cooke of Trapezium Arts explains: “This is our fourth Open Exhibition for Bradford artists and it goes from strength to strength. We are really proud to be hosting this annual exhibition for local creative people once again, in Bradford’s special year of culture.” The artwork has been selected from all the creative work submitted to the Online Gallery on Trapezium’s website. People were asked to send their creative endeavours and then these were uploaded to virtual galleries, available for all to view all year round. Lauren Kelly, who curates the Online Gallery at Trapezium Arts says, “The response to our call out has been amazing. Every year more and more people submit work, with a huge range of work from traditional landscapes to digital collage; and from artists of different backgrounds and of all ages. We have welcomed work from professional artists and enthusiastic beginners alike, showing what a wealth of talent exists in our district.” Admission to the exhibition is free and much of the artwork is for sale from the artists. |
