Students

Discover great art on your campus! Whether you visit our lively programme of exhibitions, take part in practical workshops, come along to museum lates, spend time with the collection, or enjoy the sculpture park, there are many ways to get involved with the Sainsbury Centre during your time at university.

 

Exhibitions

Our exhibitions respond to urgent questions of our time, we explore fundamental societal challenges through art. This season we are asking ‘Can the Sea survive us?’ with a dynamic programme of projects, displays and interventions. Find out more: https://www.sainsburycentre.ac.uk/event-category/exhibitions/

Sculpture Park trails

Set within 350 acres of parkland featuring outstanding art, architecture and natural beauty, the sculpture park is open daily during daylight for all visitors to enjoy.

Why not step aside from the familiar cycles and stresses of university life and be alive to your senses with Take Root, our sculpture park trail aimed at Students.

Meet sculptures, ancient trees and other attention-drawing wildlife, and, for a short time, take respite in the natural world. View and download Take Root here: https://www.sainsburycentre.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/A3-Take-Root_Web-1.pdf

Young Associates is a free creative programme for young people aged 16-25 years old to try out new ideas, learn new skills, share your work, meet artists and join a network of new collaborators.
