The Government Art Collection has announced that Bradford Council’s Cartwright Hall Art Gallery will host a public exhibition of artwork from the Collection, as it celebrates its landmark 125th anniversary.
Selected by 125 young people aged between four and 25 from across the Bradford district, the exhibition will detail why the young people found these works of art engaging in their own words. The selected artworks will be on display and free to visit from 31 January as part of the Bradford district’s year as UK City of Culture 2025.
In May 2025, a second free public exhibition by the Government Art Collection will open at The National Archives in Kew, London. Showcasing pieces commissioned for the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla, artwork by leading British and British-based artists will be on display, including Vanley Burke, Joy Gerrard, Sophie Gerrard, Mohamed Hassan, Dale Lewis, Hew Locke, Cornelia Parker and Leslie Thompson.
This exhibition will run for six months, with a programme specifically designed to engage schools and young people. The artworks capture events that took place over the Coronation weekend and covered the breadth of the UK, from London and Birmingham, to Belfast and rural communities in Scotland.
