Spotlight Talk: The Kettle's Yard Garden
Friday 19 September, 1pm
Join us for a short spotlight talk at Kettle’s Yard, taking a closer look at the cottage garden. We will start in the cottage garden exploring the significance of gardening and nature to Jim and Helen Ede, before heading into the Kettle’s Yard house to see some of the floral arrangements and flower paintings.
This event is part of the Art History Festival 2025. The Art History Festival 2025 theme is Art & Nature, celebrating the profound connections between art, nature, and emotional and mental wellbeing.
Please note that this event does not include a house tour. If you would like to visit the house too please book a ticket here.
About Art History Festival
The Art History Festival is a UK-wide, free, annual event for the public, organised and promoted by the Association for Art History. It brings the richness of art history alive to a public audience, enthuses people with our subject and increases awareness of the fact that the experiences we enjoy with works of art are produced and presented by those who study or research art history.
The festival consists of free public events staged by participating galleries, museums, arts organisations and individuals from all parts of the UK, as well as by the Association itself, over one week in September. The programme includes free talks, tours, workshops and family activities, including in-person, live online and recording events.
