Your donations
change lives
Help us Make Space for the next 30 years of bold, boundary-pushing creativity.
We’re aiming to raise £25,000 towards the redevelopment of our studio – a place where neurodivergent and learning disabled artists create, connect and thrive.
Why we’re Making Space
At Venture Arts, our artist studio in Hulme, Manchester is the heart of everything we do. It’s where ideas come to life, friendships are made, confidence grows and careers take flight. But right now, it’s bursting at the seams, and our ambitions are even bigger.
With your help, we’ll create a space that matches the talent, energy and vision of our artists.
A space where:
- Learning disabled artists lead the way
- Creativity is nurtured and valued
- Friendships and confidence grow
- Everyone feels like they belong
Together, we can Make Space for the next 30 years of creative brilliance, for a more equitable, joyful society, for artists to thrive on their own terms.
Your donation is more than a gift — it’s an act of solidarity. Help us raise £25,000 to transform our studios and expand what’s possible. Donate today – thank you!
