the bradford way evaluator call for proposals

@theleapbd

the bradford way is a strategic investment programme in bradford supported by arts council england’s places partnership fund.

about

We have developed a new consortium consisting of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, Bradford Producing Hub, the Cultural Voice Forum and The Leap to create a sustainable, joined-up infrastructure that supports Bradford’s diverse artists and community-led arts and culture. This two-year intervention directly responds to needs, improves collaboration and provision, and grows our diverse ecology for the City of Culture year and the long-term. 

The consortium provides an ecology of complimentary, strategic remits: 

 

  • Bradford Metropolitan District Council (BMDC): commissions and platforms talent and new work in a calendar of festivals and events with a national and international reach. 

  • Cultural Voice Forum (CVF): networking and connectivity for everyone, the independent voice of the sector. Celebrating the sector, advocating at every level, embedding inclusivity. ​​CVF is the inclusive home for all the new people we are encouraging into the sector. 

  • (BPH): needs-led skills, talent and career development for creatives.  

  • The Leap: place-focused, asset-focused approaches that enable leadership and build community capacity and skills. Grassroots connectivity and innovation. 

 

The Arts Council England Places Partnership Programme aims to make a step change in the cultural and creative opportunity through new collaborative working methods. The projects seek to transform aspects of cultural and creative provision in line with ACE’s Let’s Create strategy and the area’s own cultural strategic aims.
