Learning & Activities

Schools & Colleges

Art helps to spark conversations ,develop imaginations and discover new routes to learning, opening up new horizons and perspectives. We welcome school and college visits throughout the year and offer a range of bookable experiences, alongside supported initiatives and the opportunity to arrange teacher’s CPDs.
