Bradford’s Trapezium Gallery were delighted to present Winter Wonder Wall, an Open Exhibition, selected from all the creative work submitted over the previous year to the Online Gallery on Trapezium’s website. The exhibition brings together work by artists from across the district with many art forms, including drawing, painting, photography, textiles, crafts, 3D and video animation.

 

Mindful, Acrylic, Mahjabeen IbrahimDuring 2022 Trapezium Arts asked people to send their creative endeavours which were then uploaded to their Online Gallery. Then instead of art on screen, these works were brought to the walls of their gallery on Kirkgate for people in Bradford to come and see.

 

In May 2021 we held a similar exhibition for all the work submitted to our Online Gallery during lockdown, called ‘Back to the Wall’. It was a great success and really brought local artists and other creatives together, some of who have gone on to have solo shows at our Gallery on Kirkgate. So we decided to hold another joint exhibition for all the new artists who submitted virtual work. Hopefully, this will encourage their creative endeavours and give them a platform to develop their skills and profile, something we think is crucial with the Bradford 2025 City of Culture only a couple of years away.

 

Church Organ, Photograph, Mark RevillThe Online Gallery and the Open Exhibition welcomed work from professional artists and enthusiastic beginners alike. We want to be as inclusive as possible and really spread the message that art is for everyone. We think it’s important local creatives have a space to display their work, so hopefully this Open Exhibition will be something we run every year for the artists of the Bradford district.
