Ticketed events, guided studio tours and learning experiences are structured to support skills development and wider engagement with visual culture. The foundation also enables venue-based activity by making gallery and studio spaces available for corporate, cultural and private events, linking commercial hire to its charitable purpose. Through this combined studio, gallery, education and events model, The Dovecot Foundation maintains and develops tapestry and craft knowledge for diverse audiences.
