Join & Support

Firstsite works 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 to contemporary issues which ultimately achieve positive change in our community.

Your support, at any level, can help us continue to develop this work through our programme of the very best historic, modern and contemporary art – helping art and culture in the East of England to thrive and prosper and inspire creative solutions to address the challenges faced by society today.

Make a Donation

Your donation can help us keep our exhibitions free for everyone and enable us to continue to support the local community, using art and imagination to develop and deliver solutions for positive change.

How Your Support Helps

However you support us, you can help us continue to keep the gallery free and accessible to all and nurture the creativity of East Anglia – helping to support and unlock potential through creativity and imagination.
