The Butler Gallery Learning and Public Engagement programme is dedicated to the development of dynamic and accessible interactions with our audiences and communities. We strive to be people centred, community oriented and to nurture and promote the values of creativity, artistic innovation, engagement in civic life, inclusion and diversity. We aim to develop long term relationships with our audiences, making meaningful and urgent artwork together.

Each year we work with community partners, to deliver impact-focused programming with intentional relationship building.
