So sad to hear that the wonderful David Hockney has died.

Through his strong connections with Saltaire and Salts Mill, we've been honoured to include several of David's exhibitions in our recent Arts Trail programmes. We were also treated to Painting the Sky (pictured) in Roberts Park last year as part of Bradford 2025.

A true Bradford icon 💔
