Our studio could not exist without donations from people like you.
As a charity we rely on the generous support of our donors. Every contribution, big or small, helps people to access our life-changing programmes. Can you make a donation today?
This Christmas we invite you to make a meaningful difference to the lives of our talented artists by supporting Venture Arts’ #GiftOfCreativity campaign. Your generosity will help us continue to provide vital creative opportunities in 2025, enabling our artists to explore their potential, build confidence, and share their work with the world. Donations will directly support creative workshops, exhibitions, and community projects, ensuring that our artists have the resources they need to thrive.
Please also consider making a monthly contribution to support our artists throughout the year.
Let’s make this Christmas a time of giving, creativity, and connection.
Wishing you a joyful and creative festive season.
