The Showroom invests in the commissioning and production of new work. For over 40 years, The Showroom has been a pioneer of socially-engaged contemporary art practice, known for challenging what art can be and do.

We champion emerging and underrepresented artists, enabling risk-taking and experimentation and often presenting artists in London for the first time.

Individual giving provides essential support to The Showroom. We offer a range of schemes for those who want to become involved.

Friends - From £100 per annum
Become a friend and join our growing community. Your support will help sustain our ambitious and innovative programme of exhibitions, local projects, talks, and events. Friends receive a free Tote bag and a 10% discount on all Showroom publications. They are also kept up to date with our activities via our regular newsletter.

Patrons - From £1,000 per annum
Patrons enable the organisation to function, and their support feeds directly into artists’ productions, particularly artist fees and seed funding for projects. They are invited to special exhibition events and acknowledged on the gallery entrance supporters poster and on our website.

Director’s Circle - From £3,000-£5,000 per annum
A circle of key supporters whose involvement is vital to sustaining our organisation. Members of the circle get privileged access to commissions and exhibitions and opportunities to meet artists during the production stage of their exhibition. They will also receive invitations to special events and have regular contact with The Showroom’s director Gabriela Salgado, keeping them at the heart of what we do. They will also be acknowledged on the gallery entrance supporters poster and our website.

Some supporters may wish to focus their support on a particular artist, exhibition or other project we have in the pipeline. If you would like more information or to discuss ways in which you can get involved, please contact [email protected]
