Education at Kettle's Yard

The programme aims to extend understanding and enjoyment of contemporary and 20th century art, particularly the objects displayed in the House and in temporary exhibitions.

Kettle's Yard embraces the concept of life-long learning, offering opportunities to visitors aged 4 to 94 and beyond. We will always try to cater for the needs of individual visitors and participants.

Through regular activities, special events, and work with schools and further and higher education we aim to provide specialist information, encourage participation and create opportunities for developing skills.

 

 

GUIDELINES FOR GROUP VISITS TO KETTLE’S YARD DURING 2012

Kettle’s Yard is expanding. We are building a much-needed Education Wing with separate spaces for creative workshops and seminars/talks. The building works begin in January and continue throughout 2012. During this time, the majority of the gallery will be closed. From April the Extension of the House will also be closed (these are the larger spaces, where the long white sofa and reference library are located).

We will maintain access to the cottages, the shop and a temporary education space. There will also be a series of one-room displays in the reduced gallery spaces.

With limited space, we have had to reassess the guidelines for groups visiting us in 2012. Should you have any questions about group bookings, please do not hesitate to contact Rosie on 01223 748100 or email education@kettlesyard.cam.ac.uk
