Hear from our Supporters
Culture helps explain who we are
"Culture, art and libraries are often the first to experience funding cuts but they help explain who we are, where we've come from and possibly where we're going to." Anne Cowell
A great way to stay connected
"Being a member is a great way of staying informed about the events in our area. It's also nice to feel that, in a small way, you are helping to maintain a service vital to our community." Rob Scott
Championing culture in the North East
"I want our region to have the richest cultural offering possible and hope to encourage more culture outside London." Melissa Wride
Giving something back
"I chose to be a Supporter because £5 a month seems like such a small amount to contribute compared to the number of events and exhibitions I've had the joy of visiting, especially when I was younger and could only visit free local exhibitions. I particularly love The Late Shows. I want others to con tinue to have the opportunity to experience world- class art on their doorstep." Olivia Fryer
Your donation matters
Every donation helps us care for collections, create meaningful experiences, and ensure museums and galleries remain welcoming places for everyone.
When you become a Supporter, you're helping to safeguard the stories, objects and experiences that connect people with the North East's past, present and future.
