Description
Cartwright Hall is Bradford's civic art gallery and offers an exciting programme of contemporary exhibitions, with four permanent galleries displaying works from our art collections. Our Education Team runs a programme of workshops and events for schools, groups and individuals, including media activities in the new Anim8ted Learning Gallery. With prior notice we may be able to arrange special activities tailored to your group's needs. Many of Cartwright Hall's facilities are available for hire and the Gallery is licensed for civil marriages. Cartwright Hall is set in the magnificent, Green Flag-awarded grounds of Lister Park, with a boating lake, adventure playground and Mughal Gardens. There is a cafe in the Lister Park boat house (please check opening times before planning your visit).
Collections description
The collections consist mainly of 19th and 20th century British art, with strong collections of international contemporary prints and contemporary South Asian art and crafts.
