At Lakeland Arts our heritage spaces are destinations to create memorable experiences through exciting exhibitions and events, surrounded by the magic of the Lake District landscape.
For six decades, Lakeland Arts has been a beacon of culture, preserving our exceptional collections, inviting people into our museums, and offering enriching programs for communities and schools. Having experienced many ups and downs, we have persevered and grown into the Lakeland Arts we are today – a group of talented, passionate staff and guardians of four exceptional museums and collections.
Today, we face new obstacles. The post-pandemic economy and climate crisis threaten our daily operations, a reality likely to persist into the next year. This is a crucial moment and we need your help to build on our work both inside our museums and throughout our communities. We aim to work more closely with schools, visitors and our communities, support more artists, craftspeople and makers, conserve our collections and keep our museums affordable, inspiring and welcoming to all.
Your contribution can help secure the future of Lakeland Arts, ensuring our museums and galleries stay open and continue to enrich lives.
Your support allows us to preserve our collections and host inspiring exhibitions and events. More importantly, it empowers us to positively impact communities in Kendal, Windermere, and beyond, using art, culture, and heritage to foster thriving communities. Your support can make a difference – will you help us continue this important work?
