Terry Brooks 1951-2024
We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Terry Brooks, Wysing Arts Centre’s co-founder and longest-standing Trustee. Terry died peacefully with his family around him, on 22 December 2024, after living with COPD for many years.
In 1989, Terry co-founded Wysing with Jenny Brooks, and artists Annie and Age Bunnettat, developing Wysing Grange Farm into low-cost artist studios, and later, staging events and exhibitions. Providing affordable studio space and meaningful opportunities for artists and publics remains central to Wysing’s mission.
Beyond his role as a dedicated Trustee, Terry was a frequent and enthusiastic visitor, attending nearly every event and engaging actively with Wysing’s community. He embraced new ideas and approaches with exceptional curiosity and excitement. Terry’s contributions to Wysing were immeasurable, and his kind, supportive presence will be missed by all who knew him.
