Become a supporter and help sustain our ambitious and innovative programme of artists commissions, local projects, talks and events.
The Showroom is a platform to new ways of thinking, researching and communicating...I am constantly discovering and learning. Viewing exhibitions and attending talks and events is always a gratifying and enriching experience. – Maria Sukkar, Benefactor

You will be a key supporter in the re–development of The Showroom and will be at the heart of what we are doing.
As a registered charity The Showroom has to raise 100% of its income. We are core funded by Arts Council England but in addition need to raise a significant amount each year from individuals and companies, as well as from funding bodies, trusts and foundations.
At a time when funding is more difficult to secure than ever, money raised from individuals and companies through our Supporters Scheme is much needed and appreciated. The scheme provides essential funding to enable us to continue providing artists with important opportunities with major new commissions (often their first solo presentation in London) at the right moment in their career.
Donations also support the work we do in our local area, which provides opportunities for local people and groups to work in collaboration with UK and international artists on projects which are core to our programme. Through conversations around shared interests and concerns, these projects aim to generate playful and experimental avenues for critical reflection on issues at stake locally.
Join a highly valued group of individuals, get more involved and make a genuine difference. We offer a close and engaged relationship with all our supporters and a range of benefits:
Tax Effective Giving
Any donation, no matter how small or large, can qualify for tax relief under Gift Aid as long as the donor is a UK tax payer. For example: if you give The Showroom gallery a donation of £600, we can reclaim an extra £150 from the Inland Revenue.
If you are a higher rate tax payer you can also benefit. For example: if you make a donation of £3,000, as a higher rate UK tax payer you could be entitled to claim up to £750 from the Inland Revenue. This means that your donation of £3,000 to The Showroom would cost you only £2,250. Similarly if you become a Patron and make a donation of £500, as a higher rate UK tax payer you could be entitled to claim up to £125 from the Inland Revenue. This means that your donation of £500 to The Showroom would cost you only £375.
