SUMMER EXHIBITION OF THE NORTH 2025

New Light’s first Summer Exhibition took place in the 1912 Mill at Sunny Bank Mills. It is now over.

Sunny Bank is only 4 miles away from Bradford City which is celebrating its City of Culture 2025 status and is, of course, playing host to the Turner Prize. We’re aimed to extend the focus on the North’s artistic talent with this exhibition.

Each of our panel of 8 judges curated their own distinctive selection of artworks and each one awarded a bursary of £500 to their chosen overall winning artist. A ninth bursary was awarded by William Gaunt, Director of Sunny Bank Mills for his chosen textile piece.
