Kettle’s Yard Building Project

The Kettle’s Yard: Looking Ahead project is designed by architect Jamie Fobert, it encompasses: a four floor Education Wing - including two new learning spaces and an archive and project space; two remodelled and environmentally controlled galleries; and a new integrated and accessible welcome space and café. The project will transform our work with children, young people and community groups, allow us to curate exhibitions with major artists from around the world, display 20th and 21st century art in the best conditions, and have the facilities to encourage even more people to enjoy Kettle’s Yard.

To date the project has been supported by Heritage Lottery Fund, University of Cambridge, The Monument Trust, Edlis Neeson Foundation, Clore Duffield Foundation, DCMS Wolfson Museums & Galleries Improvement Fund, Fidelity UK Foundation, J P Getty Jnr Charitable Trust and Sir Siegmund Warburg’s Voluntary Settlement as well as a number of other trusts, foundations and individual donors.
