How many supporter actions will you check off?
Sign up to our newsletter
Stay informed so you can keep on supporting our events exhibitions and artists. Newsletters go out roughly weekly and its incredibly helpful to be able to reach our audiences on our terms without having to worry about algorithms and the everchanging landscape that is social media posting! You'll get the heads up on all our opportunities and upcoming activity, as well as the occasional discount, offer and VIP exclusive.
Give us a 5* review!
A good review on google goes a long way and lets people know a visit to us is not to be missed. If you've visited one of our venues or engaged with our work remotely, do head over to google using the links below to leave 5* any comments you want to add. It makes all the difference!
Or drop us an email...
Alternatively, if you prefer, just drop us an email with your feedback, testimonials or any other comments you want to give us. When you do this, we'll ask if we can use your words as part of our advocacy efforts or if you prefer, they can be just for us and our team.
Follow us online
You can also find us across the internet on social media, so jump onto your favourite platform and like, follow and share. Instagram and Twitter are two of our favourites, but you'll also find us on Facebook, LinkedIn and Youtube.
Buy Something!
Whoops did we say that out loud? It's a bit of an obvious one, but making a purchase from us, in store or online, is helping put money in our reserves so we can keep delivering opportunities and services for artists and creative activity in Torbay. We charge some of the lowest commissions in the sector and don't pass on transaction fees to artists meaning when you make a purchase from us, you're making a difference to independent creatives and small businesses. And we have things for every budget, whether it's just a greetings card and a cup of coffee in our café, an original browser work, or a statement piece of wall art or sculpture.

This is the big one. If you want to show your support for our work and help us deliver our future projects, we're very grateful to receive donations. Any money received in this way, as opposed to through the sale of work or delivery of services, will always go towards support our artist and creative opportunities whether it be studio development, commissioning, workshop programmes or grantmaking.
