As an independent charity with limited reserves and no regular public funding, we depend on fundraising and income from ticket sales to sustain both our ambitious exhibition programme and work with under-represented communities across Bristol.

We're currently fundraising for free creative workshops in Easton, Redcliffe, Southmead, and Hartcliffe, Teatime Tours for those with dementia, Happy Mondays sessions for children with autism or learning disabilities, and work placement schemes for pupils with additional needs.

Your support, whether through art purchases, donations, becoming a Friend or Patron, participating in courses or workshops, bidding in our annual Secret Postcard Auction, or sponsoring an exhibition, will make a significant impact. Thank you for your support.
