Art Happens: help us raise £25,000

Help us to raise £25,000 today and together we can build a space for community and creativity. Donate now.

As one of the UK’s leading contemporary art galleries, we’ve been presenting a bold artistic programme since 1965. But our building has been stretched to its limits and the Victorian infrastructure cannot meet demand. We now need to raise £25,000 to hit our fundraising target and our transformational redesign of our ground and lower-ground floors are accessible, engaging, and inspiring spaces for all.

Your donations will ensure that all visitors have the opportunity to engage with visual art. They will help create:

  • A refurbished entrance
  • A social area with a digital display for housing interactive commissions and archive material
  • A new gallery for exhibitions celebrating Oxford’s creative community
  • A dedicated studio space for all our audiences to create and learn
  • A new cafe, designed by acclaimed British artist Emma Hart

To donte, please visit: artfund.org/CreativeSpaces 

If you donate to the campaign you have the option of picking a reward. We have a number of different rewards depending on how much money each person gives. Our rewards are:

  • £5 – Updates and Online Mention
  • £15 – Exclusive Emma Hart pin and postcard set
  • £35 – Unique tote bag with Harold Offeh’s Pavilion designs
  • £50 – Group art-making workshop and exclusive MAO bundle to keep you creative
  • £80 – Coffee and cake for four in our new café plus goody bag
  • £200 – Invite to VIP celebration marking the opening of our new spaces
  • £350 – Private art-making workshop in the Studio, followed by refreshments in the new café
  • £450 – West End commercial gallery tour with Modern Art Oxford Director, Paul Hobson
  • £500 – A Make Play birthday party for under 5s
  • £995 – Host a private event in our new, artist-designed café
