A WINTER festival of ‘light and surprise’ will see places across the district - including gardens, shopping centres and a 100ft mill roof - illuminated with artworks. Grants have been awarded to artists and creatives as part of LIT, a winter cultural festival running until March, 2021. More than 25 site specific artworks will appear in unusual places and spaces in preparation for Bradford’s bid to be UK City of Culture 2025. Large-scale commissions including buildings wrapped in flowing rope lights, giant balls of glowing yarn, and poems by of UK Poet Laureate Simon Armitage projected onto buildings will appear in the new year.
