Ikon has been an educational charity since 1968, developing audiences for modern and contemporary art with emphasis on local communities. We do this through our public and youth programmes, our provision for schools, universities and families, and community outreach, including prisons.

Ikon’s Education Programme is supported by Cass Art.
