These free events build upon our ‘Family Welcome Project’, a participatory research project with the North Cambridge Child and Family Centre

For this exhibition Kettle's Yard invites children and young people in Cambridge to create artworks about what matters to them today, in any artistic style or medium, from local to global issues; from their home to our shared planet; from love for families, friends and communities to concern for nature, animals and the environment.

A selection of artworks created by Kettle’s Yard’s partner schools and community groups will also be on display.
