THE next six local artists displaying their works on Bradford’s big screen are helping to carry on the “strong art tradition” of the city. Part of the Not Just Hockney project set up by Silsden art enthusiast Colin Neville, the artist’s choice exhibition is designed to showcase the work of local artists. The latest selection, which runs throughout May and June, includes a documentary photographer, a wood artist, a community artist and three painters. Their work will be displayed on the big screen at the edge of City Park. Mr Neville, who also runs a website dedicated to local artists, said: “The May and June daily ‘Artist’s Choice’ presentations on Bradford Big Screen will again showcase the marvellous range of home-grown professional visual art and crafts in the district.
WORK by two Keighley-district artists is being showcased on Bradford’s Big Screen. Haworth-based Judy Sale and Keighley’s Caleb Lewis are among the latest six professional artists from across the area to be part of the initiative. Their work will be shown on the screen – in Centenary Square – at 12.30pm every day, throughout May and June. The bi-monthly Artist’s Choice presentations are organised by Silsden man Colin Neville, curator of the Not Just Hockney website, in association with Bradford UNESCO City of Film. “This is a chance for members of the public to see artwork that they might not otherwise encounter,” he said.
