Opportunity to curate an exhibition that draws from your own work and our collection of prints, ceramics and textiles during Cambridge Open Studios July 2024.

The Keate Family Arts Trust houses a collection of C20 prints, ceramics and textiles with some more contemporary additions housed in the late founder's home in central Cambridge, along with some of their Hogweed collages. We invite visual artist to curate an exhibition of their own work in our space drawing on as much or as little of the collection as desired. The trust has joined Cambridge Open Studios (COS) and the Trustees hope that we can host an exhibition over all four weekends: 6th & 7th, 13th & 14th, 20th & 21st, 27th & 28th July. 

We desire this to be a truly collaborative undertaking and will help in any way we can; with setting up and invigilating the exhibitions and serving refreshments. There is no cost to the artist. 

We will accept offers up to the deadline, but we hope interested artists will take advantage of the opportunity to visit the house 18th and 19th March by arrangement.  Please send an expression of interest in the first instance; you can refine your submission at any time.  

Please note that COS is open to all amateur and professional artists and makers and does not have a separate selection process but artists need to have their home and studio in Cambridgeshire or the CB post code area.
