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

Your donation will help us keep our contemporary art centre open, our events low-cost and our exhibitions free to enter and accessible to all.

With your help, we can continue to support artists at all stages of their career through our Artist Development programme, and provide children and young people from diverse backgrounds 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.
