The Stanley Picker Gallery coordinates a range of public events and activities.

As part of the Widening Participation programme at Kingston University, the Stanley Picker Gallery works closely with local primary schools in and around Kingston upon Thames, devising and delivering interactive workshops that encourage collaboration and creativity amongst the young participants.

The gallery holds a regular Stanley Picker Art Club for children aged 7 upwards. These are run by a practising artist who will encourage the development of ideas and techniques related to the current exhibition.

Throughout Muybridge in Kingston, the Stanley Picker Gallery Education Programme and Kingston Museum will be working in coordination, giving local schools the exciting opportunity to interact, explore and create across both sites. Pupils will be introduced to Muybridge and consider the significant impact of this practice upon modern culture, investigate the photographic and film techniques he inspired, and create artworks in response to their experiences. We are very lucky to have both original Muybridge artifacts and unique contemporary interpretations as inspiration.
