Local schools have been at the heart of Sculpture at Kingham Lodge since 2014, with children encouraged to create, exhibit and come to see their work displayed alongside professional sculptors.
In 2021, we expanded this commitment by funding an ambitious arts outreach programme in local state primary schools. That programme has since grown into Cotswolds Arts Through Schools (CATS), which now works with more than 70 state primary schools and over 13,000 children across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire.
Working with professional artists, musicians, performers and leading arts organisations, CATS brings art, music, drama, dance and oracy directly into schools. It provides professionally led workshops, teacher training, art materials and musical instruments, as well as opportunities for children to experience galleries, theatres, concerts and performances – often for the first time.
In 2027, local schools will once again be taking part in Sculpture at Kingham Lodge, creating their own sculptures to exhibit in the gardens alongside the work of professional artists.
