A cultural house bringing together artists, thinkers and writers who celebrate beauty and truth through creativity, hospitality and enriching conversations.
The Cambridge Salon is a community for artists, writers, musicians and thinkers — inspired by the great salons of the past and the spirit of Kettle's Yard.
We are deeply inspired by Jim Ede and his vision of art and nature in the home, as seen at Kettle's Yard. Like the Inklings before us, we gather not merely to share work, but to cultivate one another — to labour together in the pursuit of things that are genuinely good.
