David Hockney in Cambridge: Looking for things to do in Cambridge?

The Hockney Gallery at MODO

 

The Hockney Gallery at MODO is Cambridge's dedicated space for discovering David Hockney. We're more than a commercial gallery: we champion education, welcome first-time and Gen-Z collectors, and build connections across schools, families, and the creative industries. In partnership with Art and Culture Education CIC (Ace CIC), we make the arts accessible, rigorous, and future-facing.

 

"MODO exists to open the door to art-confidently, generously, and for everyone."

- Sally Clark, Director & Curator, MODO

Why Hockney. Why Cambridge.

David Hockney's spirit of innovation-experimenting across drawing, print, photography, stage design, and digital-mirrors MODO's own values of progress and transformation. Our Cambridge base lets us serve a city of ideas with exhibitions, talks and resources that invite newcomers and specialists alike.

Learning & Community (with Ace CIC)

Alongside Ace CIC, we design practical, bias-busting routes into the arts:

 

  • School & sixth-form engagement (talks, visits, resources)
  • Parent/teacher guides that explain pathways into creative futures
  • Tools that demystify collecting and careers in the arts
  • Opportunities for galleries, educators, and young people to connect locally
