Kate McGrath awarded Visiting Fellowship at Oxford University

Our Artistic Director Kate McGrath has been given a Visiting Fellowship of the Cultural Programme at the University of Oxford, in recognition of her personal accomplishments.

Based in the performance and public spaces in the new Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, The Cultural Programme brings together local, university and global cultural communities in a physical and digital cultural offer, inspired by the University of Oxford’s research.

The Schwarzman Centre will be a space where world-leading research takes place alongside arts and cultural activity of the highest quality. It will transform the way Oxford teaches, researches, and shares the humanities with the world. At the heart of the vision for the new building is a suite of performance spaces, including a world-class concert hall, a theatre, a cinema, an exhibition space, and a black box space for immersive work. Together, these facilities will enrich Oxford’s cultural landscape and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Animating the new Schwarzman Centre will be an ambitious, wide-ranging and diverse programme comprising performances, mini-festivals, workshops, exhibitions, screenings, talks and other public events. The Cultural Programme will create places and spaces for collaboration across all genres and disciplines and attract artists, audiences and visitors of all backgrounds from across the globe. This is a significant moment for culture in Oxford and the Cultural Programme is committed to ensuring everyone, from all backgrounds, can participate in the joy and power of the arts.
