Student Picture Loan Scheme 2023/24

23 October 2023, 2 – 4pm

Why have a poster on your wall when you can have a real work of art?

This event has passed. £20 fee and £30 refundable deposit per picture

Ever since Kettle’s Yard was created, students have been borrowing works of art from the collection. At the beginning of every academic year, we invite students at Anglia Ruskin and Cambridge University to borrow pictures from our student loan collection, giving them a bit of Kettle’s Yard to take home with them.

Come along to Kettle’s Yard to choose your pictures.

How to borrow

Students can select up to two paintings, drawings or prints from the student loan collection.

Pictures are available on a first come, first served basis and cannot be reserved in advance.

£20 fee and £30 refundable deposit per picture. Payment by card only. Please bring your student ID.

Apply for a bursary

Thanks to the generous support of Emma Davis, we are able to offer bursaries for up to 25 students, to cover the cost of borrowing a picture. To apply for a bursary, please email Naomi Polonsky (np505@cam.ac.uk) providing evidence that you are a recipient of financial support, such as a Cambridge Bursary, scholarship, or hardship grant.

Bursaries are allocated on a first come, first served basis, and cover one picture per student. Applications must be received by Thursday 19 October at the latest. We are unable to allocate bursaries on the day.
