Become a Patron and help us to present an outstanding artistic programme, commission artists and conserve the house and collection

Introduction

Becoming a Kettle’s Yard Patron means joining a community of likeminded individuals committed to supporting Kettle’s Yard’s mission of making great art accessible to all. The generous support of our Ede Circle and Directors’ Circle enables Kettle’s Yard to continue to commission artists, plan conservation projects and deliver our innovative exhibition, music, and learning programmes.

Joining our group of Patrons is a rewarding and engaging way of supporting Kettle’s Yard. Each level of Patronage provides different benefits designed to deepen your relationship with Kettle’s Yard; with behind-the-scenes access, bespoke visits to galleries and private collections, curator-led tours and invitations to opening receptions.
