At the Hatton Gallery we have a full learning programme that runs alongside each exhibition. Primary and secondary schools attend from across the North East and sometimes from further afield such as Cumbria and Yorkshire to participate in tours and art workshops. Further Education groups and students from a selection of universities also attend the gallery.
For each exhibition a range of workshops, activities and talks are created which are appropriate for each age group .Adult groups also participate in art workshops such as Equal Arts for over 55’s, mental health groups and a variety of community organisations. Building Bridges, a group for refugees is delivered on a weekly basis by Theresa Easton, a lecturer from the Fine Art department.
The Hatton also provides outreach activities to hospitalised children, care homes, schools and other settings. As well as this there is a public programme of talks and tours to compliment the exhibitions
