Priestley Centre for the Arts weekend - 3rd and 4th May 2002

This event is a response to the troubled finances that almost closed the historic Little Germany venue last year. Community-focused and broad in its appeal, the Priestley Arts Weekend has drawn together a diverse array of talent, including students from the University of Bradford and created solid partnerships within the area. The aim is to lay down a foundation of public awareness and regional links in order to sustain this under-rated jewel in Bradford's crown. Your support is warmly welcomed and greatly valued.

For the full details of the weekend click here (pdf file) and see www.priestleyartsweekend.org.uk/ or the posters around campus.
