The evening not only celebrated this year's winners and finalists but also marked the beginning of a four-week exhibition at the Parliament Buildings, Stormont, where their incredible artwork will be proudly displayed for visitors to enjoy. The exhibition offers a fantastic opportunity to showcase their talent in a prestigious setting, further highlighting the impact of the Bradley Art Prize in supporting emerging artists.
The atmosphere was one of excitement and pride as attendees explored the stunning collection of artwork, met the talented artists, and reflected on the importance of encouraging artistic expression across all ages. Now in its third year, the Bradley Art Prize has grown into a respected platform for uncovering remarkable talent and inspiring creativity.
The Bradley Art Prize continues to shine a light on creativity and inspire the next generation of artists. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a fantastic evening!
It was a privilege to welcome so many supporters of the arts especially Andrew Muir MLA who sponsored the event and Richard Brown, Bradbury Art whose sponsorship has helped make this initiative a success.
