Patrons

As a Contemporary Forward Patron you will work closely with us and the participating artists to realise this new chapter in Touchstones’ history. In return for your support you will receive a range of exclusive opportunities designed to bring you closer to the artists and the creative process.

Patron benefits include:

  • Invitations to exclusive studio visits and talks with the participating artists.
  • Regular e-bulletins from us and the artists as they develop their projects.
  • Acknowledgement of your support on all digital and print formats associated with the programme (including the website, exhibition introduction panels, publications and seasonal programme brochures).
  • The first chance to see the exhibitions with invitations to special VIP Previews (including drinks & canapes).
  • Priority booking and free places on any associated events such as talks and tours.
  • An annual report outlining how your support has helped us and the participants.
  • Opportunities to meet with some of the community groups we will be working with through this programme.
  • Free copies of the publications accompanying many of the exhibitions.
  • The opportunity to attend an annual two-day trip to a major contemporary art event in the UK or abroad (please note there will be an additional charge to cover the costs of organising this event).
  • The opportunity to attend special events organised by some of our strategic partners (please note there may be an additional charge for these events).
