All work programmed and supported at Bradford Arts Centre must align with at least one of our Programming Strands – this includes our programme of events, our support for artists, and our education and community projects.

Programming Strands
This Is Bradford
Putting Bradford Arts Centre at the heart of arts delivery in the city, we offer rehearsal space, development support and performance opportunities to local artists and companies. We also bring work to Bradford which addresses societal issues for the city or is relevant to one of its many communities.
South Asia Now
We programme work by South Asian artists/organisations or that showcases art forms from South Asia. A priority is placed on presenting work which develops the art form and/or is created by British people of South Asian descent.
British Diversity
To ensure we are at the forefront of what it means to live in modern Britain we support the creation of work which looks at cultural heritage in the context of modern Britain or is actively diversity focussed. This strand also covers work that fuses together different artforms, styles and cultures.
