Join Wysing Arts Centre’s Commissioning Circle - a forward-thinking group of individuals who support new artistic commissions that are produced by Wysing Arts Centre. Much of this work is experimental in nature and often falls between artistic disciplines which can make it difficult to fund through traditional routes. Commissioning Circle members recognise this and want to make a real impact through direct donations to one of the only residency and production-focussed arts centres in the UK. 

Artists who spend time at Wysing often describe their time as pivotal; many go on to win prestigious prizes including the Turner and Paul Hamlyn.

To be part of this supportive group of patrons, we ask for a minimum annual donation of £1,000. You will be invited to an annual artist-designed Commissioning Circle Dinner hosted by Wysing’s Director, Rosie Cooper, in addition to receiving invitations to screenings, talks, exclusive events and tours at Wysing and in London.

To join the Circle or to find out more, call 01954 718881 or email info@wysingartscentre.org.

"Wysing has established a brave and imaginative emphasis on experimentation and critical discussion in which the Wysing community, and the broader community, are given every opportunity to participate. Wysing offers the practical support of space, time and resources for artists to engage with the more challenging aspects of their creative activities and to bring these to fruition, and the organisation enables both artists and audiences to be rewarded with diverse, stimulating and enlightening encounters: both artists and audiences can collaborate in mutually questioning what art is, who it is for and where it can be seen beyond the commercial precedents of today’s art world. ”  — Phyllida Barlow, CBE
