Become a Patron of the Arts!

As a not-for-profit arts organisation, awful/FANTASTIC! is looking at innovative ways to support its intended programme of exhibitions and events. By becoming a Patron you will be helping to fund its future exhibitions and events. Your patronage may also help awful/FANTASTIC! attract additional funding from other local businesses and companies together with local and regional governmental bodies and charities.

For an annual donation of £100 you will be named as a Patron of the Arts on our website. In addition to this, and if appropriate, you can have your business or company logo and a link to your website.

Patrons will receive invitations to our private views and professional development events together with email alerts detailing the progress and developments of awful/FANTASTIC!

If you wish to become a Patron of our exciting and innovative new arts organisation in Aylesbury, please contact either Laura or Stephanie using the email contacts below.

Business Support

We also welcome support from local businesses who would like to be identified with our new and exciting contemporary art initiative. Such support could take the form of:

Sponsoring exhibitions with local and national media

Making available sites and venues (particularly empty commercial units and shops or rooms above shops, within office blocks, etc) for stewarded exhibitions and associated private view event, for a two-week period

Offering use of function room(s) or reserved seating area(s) in bars and restaurants for private views or peer group meetings

Hosting temporary displays of contemporary art from a selection of our artists in the reception and client meeting areas within your premises

In exchange (and depending on the level of support) we can offer company branding on exhibition and event marketing and promotional material, website linkage and long-term links and partnerships with local businesses and organisations to promote Aylesbury and the Vale as a vibrant environment for creative practice.

If you would like to discuss any of the above, or have any other ideas or opportunities you would like to talk to us about, please contact Stephanie Dubois at stephanie@awfulfantastic.co.uk or Laura Jones at laura@awfulfantastic.co.uk.
