Explore the Portia Zvavahera: Zvakazarurwa exhibition out of hours. Music provided by DJ Bosslady. The Garden Kitchen café will be open for special cocktails and food.

You will also be able to do some late night shopping ahead of the festive period in the Kettle’s Yard shop and pick up special Christmas gifts for friends and family.

The speakers will discuss the importance of art education, creative expression, and the power of art to transform lives.

Cutler and Offeh will explore the challenges and opportunities in art education, drawing from their extensive experiences in the field. They will discuss how art can be a catalyst for social, emotional, and intellectual growth and consider ways to nurture creativity in and out of the classroom.

At this one-day symposium at Kettle’s Yard, convened by Inga Fraser (Senior Curator, House & Collections) and Naomi Polonsky (Assistant Curator, House & Collections), we explore the work of Hans Coper in its broadest contexts: engaging art and design histories, exhibition and curatorial histories, social and political contexts, histories of education and pedagogy.

‘The Cyclamen and the Cedar’ is the culmination of Adham's recent residency at Kettle’s Yard as part of 20/20, a 3 year programme with the UAL Decolonising Arts Institute. The film screening will be followed by a conversation between the artist and curator Guy Haywood.

This hands-on poetry slam-style  workshop is led by Writerz & Scribez, a socially engaged arts organisation using art as a tool for change. 

Inspired by the Fitzwilliam Museum's exhibition ‘Glenn Ligon: All Over The Place’, writer and curator Debbie Meniru leads a fascinating workshop exploring the hidden depths of museum texts and the many imaginative approaches to writing art interpretation. Experience the exhibition for yourself and get creative with your own writing. 

This talk is part of Critical Co-Labs, a series of conversations with our curators and special guests exploring the big issues of today through new perspectives on our collection.

Habda Rashid, Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, leads a dynamic discussion exploring these fresh perspectives alongside Elenor Ling, our Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings and Henrietta Ward, Curator of Northern European Paintings and Drawings.  

Taking inspiration from the sculptures and prints of artist Barbara Hepworth on display at Kettle’s Yard, this workshop for children aged 7-11 years is a great opportunity to have fun, be creative, and meet new friends!
