Brand and Corporate Partners

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 as a partner, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, from behind-the-scenes unique content, exciting collaborations for staff and clients, priority booking on selected shows and invites to special events.

Why You Should Support

By partnering with us, you're powering a mission to create a vibrant, accessible programme and support the next generation of artists, thinkers and leaders. Together, we can shape the future of the arts and build a lasting legacy that will inspire, educate, and uplift for generations to come.
