Kettle's Yard Gallery, next door to the house, was opened in 1970 and extended in 1994. It is now one of the leading galleries outside London to present a constantly changing programme of contemporary and modern art. Kettle's Yard exhibitions are regularly featured in the national media and art press. The gallery shop sells a range of art magazines, books and postcards. Lunchtime and evening talks are held to explore the house and to introduce new work in the gallery.
Admission is free to many events and concessionary student rates are available for others.
Every year, Kettle's Yard and a Cambridge college invites an established or up and coming artist to live and work in the city. Each Artist Fellow holds an exhibition at Kettle's Yard and there are frequent opportunities for them to meet with students and discuss their work.
