Oriental Arts (Bradford) Limited was established in 1976 in Bradford. The organisation provides south Asian arts activities such as concert promotion; artistic programming for social events, melas, world music events and festivals around the UK; workshops in Asian music and dance, music technology and sound skills; booking artists for weddings and other social events; the provision of information, advocacy and consultancy.
They are still actively contributing to the community, and are celebrating their 35th Birthday this year.
They have been involved in many events over the years and are even responsible for the annual Bradford Mela (a Sanskrit word meaning ‘to meet’). What had once been a gathering of people in 1988 is now a two day international festival, attracting over 200,000 people, and celebrates the city’s diverse cultural heritage, both in general but also focusing on the Asian communities. It has been so successful that they now advise other towns and cities on how to plan theirs.
Within the collection is a large amount of advertising for all their activities and events, which are full of bright and vibrant designs and images, a true treasure to look through.
