2019 marks the 30 year anniversary of Wysing Arts Centre. 

A birthday gift to Wysing of £30 or more provides the crucial support we need to continue our experimental programming and fully funded residencies for artists.  

All donations will be matched by Arts Council England’s Catalyst programme until 31st August 2019, doubling your donation. This means £30 will become £60, and £50 becomes £100, making your support go even further.

 

Please help us to keep our programmes and events free for artists at all stages of their career. You can make a one-off gift of £30 or more today by clicking the button below. Or you can join our new programme The Producer's Circle for £1,000.

As a Friend of Wysing you will receive insights into our evolving vision and programme, invitations to previews, screenings and talks, and occasional invites to exclusive events. We will also ensure to keep you regularly updated via Wysing’s e-newsletter.

The Wysing Producer's Circle is a cohort of changemakers who support new artistic work. Much of this work is experimental in nature and often falls between artistic disciplines which can make it difficult to fund through traditional routes. Producer's Circle Members will recognise this and want to make a real impact through direct donations to one of the only residency and production-focussed arts centres in the UK.  

To be part of this forward-thinking group of patrons, we ask for a minimum annual donation of £1,000, which is currently match funded by Arts Council England through their Catalyst programme. Upon joining, you will receive a uniquely commissioned Wysing Producer's Circle edition and be invited to an annual artist-designed Producer's Circle Dinner, in addition to receiving invitations to previews, screenings, talks, and exclusive events.  

The first edition is by artist Philomene Pirecki and everyone who becomes a member of the Wysing Producer's Circle in 2019 will receive a unique version of the work.

“Wysing has established a brave and imaginative emphasis on experimentation and critical discussion in which the Wysing community, and the broader community, are given every opportunity to participate. Wysing offers the practical support of space, time and resources for artists to engage with the more challenging aspects of their creative activities and to bring these to fruition, and the organisation enables both artists and audiences to be rewarded with diverse, stimulating and enlightening encounters: both artists and audiences can collaborate in mutually questioning what art is, who it is for and where it can be seen beyond the commercial precedents of today’s art world. ”  — Phyllida Barlow, CBE
