It’s been a busy few months: and one of several landmarks to point at on the way is the opening of the new Connect gallery in Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, Bradford, a project we’ve been closely associated with for about two years. The gallery is now up and running, open to its public, and by all accounts working very well. It’s fantastic to see the germs of ideas which came out of focus groups we ran back in 2006 being realised, in what is now an exciting, inclusive space to get to grips with visual art. We are thrilled - and it’s gratifying that there’s such a lot of interest within the sector in this project. Well done Nima, Mark, Claire, Christine, Bryn - and the many others.
