Barbican Patrons
Join us as we shape the Barbican’s future: a future in which the most diverse audiences have access to a range of international arts; a future in which creative learning for schools, community groups and the public is embedded in all our work; a future which can transform lives, offer great experiences to all and bring a new generation to the arts.

Our creative learning offer is integral to our mission. We need to take this to the next level, delivering life-long creative learning and our brand of international excellence to the City, East London and beyond, through partnerships, new commissions and support of emerging artists.

At a time of financial challenge this valuable new work demands new resources to flourish. We invite you to begin that journey and become a Founder Barbican Patron.
