About Fen Bridges

Fen Bridges is a new programme developed by artists Alan Seiglow & Karen Avilez, designed to support community members accessing creative and cultural places across the East of England.

We are delighted to invite you on our next day trip on Friday 16th January 2026 to Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge, followed by a visit to the Fitzwilliam Museum.

This visit will include an introduction from Karen Thomas, Community Manager at Kettle’s Yard, an opportunity to tour the House and see the current exhibition Harold Offeh: Mmm Gotta Try a Little Harder, It Could Be Sweet, and then an afternoon exploring the Fitzwilliam Museum with time to sketch, write, reflect or simply enjoy the collections. 

We hope to be joined by some other Cambridge Artists on the day and continue to  grow our connections to other communities across the East.
