Factory International

Join our Giving Circles

Shape the future with us

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: Foundation, Patron, Pioneer or Mid Career you'll enjoy a range of benefits, from behind-the-scenes unique content, fresh insights, priority booking on selected shows, invites to special events and a chance to get closer to our work whilst driving social change through the arts and culture.
