CVF was created in 2019. It was one of a series of recommendations made by Culture Creativity and Place as part of the feasibility and readiness of Bradford to mount a convincing bid to be UK City of Culture in 2025.
We are a growing network of cultural freelancers, creators, makers, and organisations, and aim to increase our membership and its diversity to best reflect the cultural community in the wider Bradford District.
CVF invites artists, culture and heritage professionals & volunteers to share ideas, resources, intelligence, and discussion to empower cultural connectivity and activity.
It’s free to join and you can benefit from a breadth of knowledge, an opportunity to voice your ideas and thoughts in our bi-monthly meetings, submit your events/opportunities/news on our website, and stay up to date with our monthly newsletters and weekly mailouts.
