What is being bought

Published requirement description

Kala Sangam Arts Centre (KSAC) is an

intercultural arts venue based in Bradford city

centre and is an Arts Council England (ACE)

National Portfolio Organisation (NPO). It presents

two seasons of diverse performances annually;

engages children and adults through a range of

classes, workshops and schools' activity; and

delivers a year-round programme of artist

development and support.

The building is one of very few professional arts

spaces in the district, a true cultural hub. KSAC

hosts work not seen on other stages in the North

and a range of activity unique in Bradford. The

organisation plays a national role in the

development of dance and is the only venue in

the North prioritising support for South Asian arts.

KSAC was previously Bradford's main Post Office

and is a Grade II Listed building. Its

redevelopment will be a key capital milestone of

Bradford's UK City of Culture delivery in 2025,

removing physical barriers and opening access to

all throughout this important heritage building.
