About Us

The Roche Court Educational Trust is an independent arts education charity based at the beautiful New Art Centre sculpture park and gallery in Wiltshire.

Inspired by the work of internationally acclaimed artists, we work with children, young people, teachers and specialist groups to develop confidence by looking, thinking and speaking about art.

We believe that cultural confidence is fostered through engagement with the visual arts and is a vital element in building cohesive communities. We believe this will lead to a more equitable and sustainable future.

Making connections across disciplines and values, the conversations held here provide a rounded understanding- and enjoyment- of the culture of our age.

Our History

The New Art Centre, established in London in 1958, moved to Roche Court, Wiltshire in 1994.

The Roche Court Educational Trust was established in 2005. We are a registered charity with eight trustees.

Our programme of events is inspired by the artworks on display at the New Art Centre sculpture park and galleries. Despite our shared location, we operate independently.

For over fifteen years, we have run a varied programme of interactive tours, workshops, projects and events, all of which are open to students, teachers, specialist groups and the wider community.

During the school holidays, we provide family workshops to encourage the enjoyment of looking and talking about art together.
