Community initiatives

Find out about Tate’s collaborative projects with local community groups.

Tate Modern Community Garden

The community garden gives local residents in Southwark and Lambeth some quiet time, allows children to explore wildlife, and offers space that families can enjoy together.

Community film club at Tate Modern

Screenings are very informal get-togethers where you come and meet other Southwark and Lambeth residents for a drink and watch an interesting film.

All screenings are held in the Starr Auditorium on level 2, Tate Modern.
Free refreshments are served at 18.30, the programme starts at 19.00. To join for free email communityfilmclub@tate.org.uk or call 020 7401 5176

Tate Modern and You

Tate Modern and You is an annual publication that acts as a forum for local discussion and has been delivered to communities that neighbour the gallery for many years. Part of its success is the ongoing collaboration with artists and local community organisations.

Download our latest edition or join the Tate Local facebook group to be kept informed of future news and projects.

Look Groups at Tate St Ives

Based on the idea of a book group, the Look Groups project is currently a network of 21 groups throughout the Cornish region who each meet regularly to talk about art, artists and ideas in an informal and enjoyable way.

Look Groups are free and meet in the members’ local area. They are a great way to meet new people and discuss your ideas about art.

To find out about a Look Group near you email lookgroups@tate.org.uk or call 01736 796226.

Online resources
