Our work in the community

We're always looking for ways to share our research and expertise with partners and communities.

Some of our recent activities include:

  • immersive workshops on craft, painting and the senses
  • innovative educational resources from key stage two to A-level
  • widening participation programmes in schools and communities
  • walking tours
  • radio, television and film appearances.

We frequently contribute to events such as York's Festival of Ideas, Family Fringe Festival and York Georgian Festival.

We regularly work with local, regional and national heritage organisations, galleries and museums. This includes curating and co-producing exhibitions, heritage consultation, knowledge exchange and public lectures. Our vast alumni network also enables us to create and work with partners across the globe. Some of our recent and current partners are:

  • BBC
  • Chawton House
  • Harewood House
  • The National Trust
  • York Art Gallery
  • Yorkshire Country House Partnership

We always welcome meaningful partnerships with the heritage and culture sector. For more information, please contact us.
