I Am Me – Exhibition at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in Bradford
Visit I Am Me, an exhibition of artworks from the Government Art Collection selected by 125 young people from Bradford, as part of the Bradford district’s year as UK City of Culture 2025.
To celebrate the Government Art Collection's 125th anniversary, 125 young people aged between four and 25 from across the Bradford district selected 22 works of art to go on display at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, with support from Cartwright Hall’s Healthy Mind Collective, a group of young people working across the Bradford district and Craven to support children, communities and schools with their mental health and wellbeing.
The exhibition will be free to visit from 31 January as part of the Bradford district’s year as UK City of Culture 2025.
