The Bradley Art Prize has completed it's second year and after deliberation, the Judges have announced the winners.
This art prize was created to drive fresh talent and creativity among artists in Northern Ireland. Terry's main aim was to support and nurture artists, who have a passion for art and those that may use it as a form of escapism as he believes we have a wealth of raw talent in Northern Ireland. The competition is for anyone over 14 and divided into three age categories 14-18, 19-23 and Over 23’s.
‘The people we have had the opportunity to meet have been so amazing and the quality of entries has again far exceeded our expectations. It makes me more determined to continue with the Bradley Art Prize knowing there is more talent out there and we are excited to see what each year brings.’ Terry Bradley
