Support us

Our aim is to bring art and its benefits to all of the people of East Anglia –  involving our communities directly with our work, from exhibition making to our creative learning activities.

As a registered charity, we rely upon the generosity of individuals, businesses, funding organisations, trusts and foundations to help us provide these vital creative opportunities and provoke imaginative responses which bring positive change to our community.

Your support, at any level, can help art and culture in the East of England to thrive and inspire us all to find creative solutions which address the challenges faced by society today.
