  • Partnerships: an NMDC Briefing
    Partnerships: an NMDC briefing Museums of all sizes and types regularly work in partnership to deliver collaborative projects with other museums, educational establishments, and heritage and community organisations across the country. Many of these partnerships are based around the loan of objects, including from national museums, but others focus on developing new public programming, sharing skills and expertise, education and learning, and working with communities. Museums continue to adapt the focus and nature of partnership working as a way of managing the impact of cuts to public funding and developing greater resilience. Museums loan thousands of objects to other museums across the UK every year as part of mutually beneficial collaborative projects. In 2012/13, DCMS-sponsored museums lent objects to 2727 venues in the UK (a marked increase from 1530 in 2008/09).i Examples include: Star object loans: National Gallery Masterpiece tour (sponsored by Christie's) opened with Manet's The Execution of Maximillian at The Beaney in Canterbury. It was seen by nearly 21,000 people before moving on to Barnard Castle and Coventry. Until 2016, one major National Gallery painting will tour each year. Loans of local significance: the loan of the Lindisfarne Gospels from the British Library to Durham Cathedral in 2012 generated £8.3m in economic benefit and was visited by 100,000 peopleii; Long-term loans to provide content for a museum or historic house: apart from one locomotive, the entire collection of locomotives and stock on display at STEAM in Swindon is a long-term loan from the National Railway Museum. Larger museums and specialist collections tour complete exhibitions to venues around the country.

Call: 0113 378 7017 Email: [email protected] Visit: www.leeds.gov.uk/libraries leedslibraries leedslibraries Pottery in Leeds - a brief introduction Leeds has a long association with pottery production. The 18th and 19th centuries are often regarded as the creative zenith of the industry, with potteries producing many superb quality pieces to rival the country’s finest. The foremost manufacturer in this period was the Leeds Pottery Company, established around 1770 in Hunslet. The company are best known for their creamware made from Cornish clay and given a translucent glaze. Although other potteries in the country made creamware, the Leeds product was of such a high quality that all creamware became popularly known as ‘Leedsware’. The company’s other products included blackware and drabware. The Leeds Pottery was perhaps the largest pottery in Yorkshire. In the early 1800s it used over 9000 tonnes of coal a year and exported to places such as Russia and Brazil. Business suffered in the later 1800s due to increased competition and the company closed in 1881. Production was restarted in 1888 by a ‘revivalist’ company which used old Leeds Pottery designs and labelled their products ‘Leeds Pottery’. The revivalist company closed in 1957. Another key manufacturer was Burmantofts Pottery, established around 1845 in the Burmantofts district of Leeds.

  • The Leeds Arts Club and the New Age: Art and Ideas in a Time of War by Tom Steele Thank You Very Much Nigel, That's a Very Generous Introduction
    TRANSCRIPT Into the Vortex: The Leeds Arts Club and the New Age: Art and Ideas in a Time of War by Tom Steele Thank you very much Nigel, that's a very generous introduction. Thank you for inviting me back to the Leeds Art Gallery where I spent so many happy hours. As Nigel said, the book was actually published in 1990, but it was a process of about 5 or 6 year work, in fact it's turned into a PHD. I've not done a lot of other work on it since, I have to say some very very good work has been done on Tom Perry and other peoples in the meantime, and it's grievously in danger of being the new edition, which I might or might not get around to, but maybe somebody else will. Anyway, what I'm going to do is to read a text. I'm not very good at talking extensively, and it should take about 40 minutes, 45 minutes. This should leave us some time for a discussion afterwards, I hope. Right, I wish I'd thought about the title and raw text before I offered the loan up to the gallery, because it makes more sense, and you'll see why as we go along. I want to take the liberty of extending the idea of war to cover the entire decade 1910-1920, one of the most rebellious and innovative periods in the history of British art. By contrast, in cultural terms, we now live in a comparatively quiet period.

  • Choosetochallenge
    2021 Celebrating and recognising the achievements of women www.visitbradford.com/iwd March 2021 Celebrations across Bradford District #ChooseToChallenge Life for Dance A message from the Leader of Bradford Council Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day 2021 is #ChooseToChallenge. All of us in society have a right to challenge attitudes, behaviours, prejudices and with that challenge comes change and making a difference for a more equal and fairer future for girls and women across the district. Over the last year we have all been working very differently as we have faced the many challenges this global pandemic has thrown at us. Every one of us has had to make some real lifestyle changes from not seeing family and friends face to face, working from home on a full time basis, home schooling to ensuring we stay fit and healthy. So this year we want to celebrate International Women’s Day in how women have stepped up to the challenge and have had to adapt in the roles they hold from senior management to those on the front line or to those who have had to juggle home working and home schooling to achieve the best outcomes for all. As women we should feel proud of what we have accomplished over the year. Bradford has such a rich and vibrant history of the many women who have inspired us all by breaking all boundaries through challenging traditional ideas which have helped to pave the way so that we too can make a difference in society.

  • Bradford's International Women's Day Programme
    2019 Celebrations across BRADFORD DISTRICT Come and enjoy a fantastic programme of inspirational talks, entertainment and activities taking place across the district celebrating and recognising the achievements of women www.bradford.gov.uk/iwd #BalanceforBetter Life for Dance A message from the Leader of Bradford Council Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the achievements of women in every sphere. Our programme in Bradford spans two weeks and celebrates some fantastic women from past and present – from Manningham’s pioneering women of the 19th century through to those who fought for women’s rights in the 20th century, to successful modern-day women such as a Paralympic cyclist and others in the worlds of business, sport, the media and beyond. Across the Bradford District we have terrific success stories of local women achieving great things. We have rising female employment and a surge in women entrepreneurs contributing to our vibrant culture and growing economy. But while we see many remarkable women in our own circles and in the public eye, it’s also a time to remember there are still staggering inequalities in this country and of course around the globe. This year’s programme tackles these serious issues while celebrating new opportunities and offering creativity, culture and community. It’s great to see so many hands-on activities this year and I urge you to get involved whatever your age or background. This year’s theme of #balanceforbetter calls for a more gender-balanced world. Whether it’s in the workplace, the home or in any other sphere, it’s not just a moral imperative for women to be able to contribute fully and fulfil their potential – it’s a common-sense one.
