Factory International

Become a Patron or Pioneer

We see the arts as the vehicle and the end goal. The art’s ability to entertain, evoke emotion and stimulate the senses is widely recognised. Yet the true impact of art stretches a lot further.
By joining one of our giving circles: Patron or Pioneer, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, from behind-the-scenes unique content, fresh insights, priority booking on selected shows and invites to special events.
