Support Us
Surface Gallery is run by a committed group of volunteers who give their time to deliver an experimental and innovative programme of contemporary exhibitions, events and community engagement programmes. Surface Gallery exists to support the development of early and mid-career artists, curators and those wishing to work in the arts. Our independence and the freedom to develop artist-led projects, local community activities and the continuation of volunteer-led exhibitions and residencies are highly important to us, which is why Surface Gallery seeks funding for specific exhibitions and events rather than relying on long-term financial support.
Small Change
A one off donation of just a few pounds or a regular donation of as little as £2 per month will make a big difference to the work we do with artists and the exhibitions that we deliver. Your donation will go towards:
- Delivering an inspiring exhibitions programme
- Supporting the development of aspiring artists and arts professionals
- Refurbishing the exhibitions space
- Purchasing new equipment

Support in Kind

There are many ways that both individuals and businesses can offer practical help, from as little as providing nibbles or refreshments during exhibition previews to donating office furniture and equipment.
We have a short wishlist that is regularly updated to reflect the gallery’s current needs, which you can download here: SurfaceGalleryWishlist.pdf.
