We manage the arts and publishing budgets so if you need any funding for arts supplies or want to organise any arts events, give us a shout! Catz’s passion for the arts is evident at its roots as the original quad of the college was designed in its entirety – right down to the cutlery – by renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. We want to boost the energy of the established arts scene at Catz by continuing to provide a variety of events such as music nights, life drawing sessions, painting classes, exhibitions and more.

Of course, there are plenty of other reasons to come — not least the exciting programme of activities planned for this year, including joint events with Catz societies and other colleges (not to mention free cookies!). Even better, you don’t have to choose between Entz and Alt Entz — you can come to Alt Entz first and then go to Entz later in the evening, or you might take one look at the Entz and think “I want free cookies instead”. I can’t wait to welcome everyone to Catz; if you have any questions, then please do contact me by email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
