As we celebrate 175 years of the Garden being on this site, we’re delighted to be hosting a day of activities for visitors:
A twist of the hand is an exhibition of wall drawings informed by the use of pattern and colour in ancient Greece and Rome. Preserved architectural details, remnants of colour, geometric mosaics, and objects all serve as points of departure for the creation of new works, carefully sited among the Museum of Classical Archaeology’s cast collection. James Epps evokes the colourful worlds from which the ancient sculptures derive, inviting new relationships of pattern and colour.
This summer we are going to be keeping the gates and Café open a bit later for you to enjoy the beauty of the Garden on a summer’s evening.
Every Thursday in June and July the Garden will be open until 8pm.
We hope that you will join us to enjoy the summer evenings and find a spot for a picnic or to catch up with friends and family.
Join art historian Sarah Burles for an online afternoon talk on the artist Winifred Nicholson (1893-1981). The talk will put Nicholson’s work at Kettle’s Yard into a wider context as well as discussing her friendship with Jim and Helen Ede.
