WHAT’S ON IN YORKSHIRE – Bradford: Museums & Galleries

Everyone loves to travel, but not everyone loves to travel the same way. All you have to do is have the time in your life. Meeting Benches. The way to make the world a better place is easy. Choose a bench, where you can publish what you have painted or written, a review of a book that you’ve read, or the story of a journey that you have made. Past and Present are here and now. Our proposal call any web-traveler to sit into Meeting Benches info@meetingbenches.com to share emotions, observing new creative horizons, also visiting Yorkshire.

Cartwright Hall Art Gallery / Sculpture Trail: Art in the Park, until Saturday 1 April 2017. You can stroll around Lister Park to view public artwork (some on loan by the artists, others from Bradford’s own collections). In the Moghul Garden, don’t miss the magnificent pure granite, Edinburgh based Jake Harvey. You can also see Bingley based artist Marcus Levine’s steel clout nail sculpture ‘Hung Out to Dry’ (fibre glass ‘Hochlandbew’), by Otmar Alt. One more step: Imran Qureshi’s ‘Garden within a Garden’ (WWI commemoration piece remains within the Moghul Garden).

Cliffe Castle Museum / Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, until Sunday 30 October 2016. Things will become curiouser and curiouser, as you journey around the museum. There will be plenty of surprises in store (including felted creatures created by Malachai Beesley), and small gardens made by Isobel Cortese. You too join Alice on her adventures, through Cliffe Castle, as she tries to find the White Rabbit.
