Responses to Art meets on the first Thursday of the month as a rule. If you enjoy exploring exhibitions and museum collections as well as creating art - this could be for you. The sessions feature an introductory talk about an exhibition or item from Bradford’s collections, followed by discussion and a practical session which may or may not be tutored.The sessions feature an introductory talk about an exhibition or item from Bradford’s collections, followed by discussion and a practical session which may or may not be tutored.
Looking towards Bradford 2025, ‘DRAW’ is inspired by David Hockney’s daily practice of depicting the world around him through drawing. This will be our theme for 2024 - 2025
Curator of the exhibition ‘Calm’, Jill Iredale will talk about this project led by a group of young people who have brought works from the stores to create a space in which people could ‘come and relax in a calming environment’.
The ‘Healthy Minds Apprentices’, worked with museum staff, poets and illustrators to achieve a very different setting to the other galleries, with comfy seating and exhibits to touch and feel.
We shall use this display as a starting point for a relaxed drawing session, drawing boards are supplied and basic drawing materials but do feel free to bring sketch books and dry drawing materials as well.
Meet in the café from 10am for a cup of coffee before we meet Jill upstairs in the gallery at 11am.
Cost: £10.00 …(pay on the day)…
