Will you be our friend?

We’ve launched the Venture Arts Friends Collective, a new way to support Venture Arts regularly and be part of what comes next.

Our first shared goal is to help fund the Venture Arts archive, protecting and preserving Venture Arts artists’ work for the future.

We’re looking for 12 new Friends giving £15 a month to help us reach this first milestone. You can give more or less, and change or stop your donation at any time.

As a Friend, you’ll be invited to studio open days and exhibition previews, hear more about the difference your support is making, and receive a small thank you from us when you join.

It’s a chance to get a little closer to Venture Arts and what’s happening behind the scenes.

Will you join us?

Prefer to make a one-off donation?

You can do that too. Scroll down to support Venture Arts with a one-off gift.

Your support helps make more possible.

From materials and equipment to artist residencies, exhibitions and new creative opportunities, regular donations help Venture Arts artists make ambitious work and develop their practice.
