Spike Island is a charity bringing world-class contemporary art to local audiences.

As a non-profit organisation, Spike Island relies on the generosity of our visitors, partners and supporters. Donations of any size are welcome and make a difference.

Your contribution will create a lasting impact by supporting the Spike Green Futures campaign, an ambitious carbon reduction plan to achieve net zero by 2030. It will also help to keep our exhibitions free and accessible to all, and enable the vital work we do with artists and our communities.

With your help, we can continue to support artists at all stages of their careers through our Artist Development programme, and provide children and young people from diverse backgrounds with opportunities to learn and engage with contemporary art.

Together, we can support more people to develop their creative potential and be inspired with a passion for contemporary art.
