Making Bradford Work for Creatives
The Bradford Way brings together four organisations to create a more connected, sustainable and Bradford-rooted approach to supporting creativity across the District.
A Connected System of Support for Bradford’s Creative Sector - in a way that’s totally Bradford
Individual creatives, freelancers, small creative businesses, creative communities and heritage organisations are the backbone of Bradford’s creative sector.
The Bradford Way was set up to bring together four organisations to work as one connected system of support for those creatives. And to do that in a way that is totally Bradford.
It’s not an organisation. It’s a partnership and a shared way of working: connecting existing organisations, resources, knowledge and opportunities so that artists, freelancers, communities, cultural organisations and creative businesses can access support through a more visible, coordinated and connected system.
The current Bradford Way partners
Joining up Bradford’s creative sector to grow, stay and thrive
Creativity plays a vital role in shaping Bradford's future. Freelancers, creatives, communities and small creative businesses need support to help them grow and thrive.
The Bradford way wants to build on the joining up we’ve already done to take this further. To create a single equal access point to Bradford's cultural ecology to allow all to thrive irrespective of background or career stage.
