Our Participation Programme is a testing ground for art and ideas, we invite people of all ages to take part in a brave, exploratory and experimental programme, developed in collaboration with artists, audiences and creative partners.
The programme spans early years activities, work with local schools and creative opportunities for young people and adults. Projects are artist-led and multi-disciplinary, offering participatory experiences beyond formal education. We aim to build upon a radical history of pioneering education practices at Whitechapel Gallery.
