Patrons and donors

Get closer to the gallery and the work we do

Our Patrons support all the work of the gallery and get a closer look behind the scenes. You’ll enjoy special previews of exhibitions, the chance to see new acquisitions and hear directly from curators.

Bronze Patrons (£500 per year) enjoy all Friends and best Friend benefits, personal welcome tours, invitations to previews and events and thanks on our website and supporter board.
Silver Patrons (£1250 per year) enjoy all of the above plus a private tour for up to four people, a tour of our conservation studios and a behind the scenes tour of our art store.
Gold Patrons (£3000 per year) enjoy all of the above plus an annual Gold Patrons lunch with Director Alistair Hudson, and a private exhibition or collection tour for up to ten people.

If you’d like to find out more or to become a Patron or donor please contact our Friends Coordinator, Andy Turner on:
