The past, present and future of arts patronage

Whether you’re an arts professional, policy maker or researcher, you're welcome at a panel discussion reflecting on the past, present and future of arts patronage.

Join our guests including the cultural grandee Sir Charles Saumarez Smith, the author Professor Alexandra Wilson and Claire Titley, Director of Philanthropy at the Arts Council, for wine, nibbles, and a wide-ranging discussion.

We’ll explore how arts organisations have, are, and may navigate the changing opportunities, expectations, and pressures of a cultural scene in dramatic flux.

This event is to celebrate the publication of our book Museums and Patronage and the conclusion of the European funded project Museums and Industry: Long Histories of Collaboration (MaILHoC).
