Public Programs
Public Programs at Heide aim to inspire and engage the Museum’s audiences. Our program seeks to stimulate new thinking and dialogue around modern and contemporary culture with particular emphasis on the visual arts, architecture and design, gardening, literature and other creative endeavours. A variety of events encourage the participation of diverse communities, actively building audiences for Heide and enhancing visitor experience and insight.
Our schedule of talks, Artist in Conversation sessions, round table forums, studio visits and other events address: attractions such as Heide’s unique buildings, Collection and environment; themes arising from temporary exhibitions; as well as other critical issues within contemporary culture.
Along with a wide range of guest speakers including artists and curators, Heide Volunteer Guides play an essential role in the delivery of Public Programs, including regular guided tours.
