Arts Development

Play a part in art

“Life is the leaves which shape and nourish a plant, but art is the flower which embodies its meaning”

Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Arts development programmes, along with contemporary and traditional exhibitions in the Art Lover’s Café, provide inspirational opportunities for children, young people and adults to engage in a range of art, design and architecture events within the House, our purpose-built studios and within our surrounding parkland.

Local schools, youth and community groups that wish to develop a creative project in partnership with us, or visual artists, designers and architects who have interesting ideas for exhibitions or creative educational initiatives are warmly encouraged to get in touch.
