Who we are
The Roche Court Educational Trust (RCET) works with teachers, young people and specialist groups to develop confidence and skills by looking, thinking and speaking about art. Our aim is to provide a greater understanding and enjoyment of the culture of our age. We encourage everyone to speak amongst themselves and in public about the visual world, raising their aspirations and increasing their knowledge. The charity is based at the New Art Centre, Roche Court Sculpture Park and Gallery. Our programme is led by experts and supported by artists who exhibit at Roche Court.
