Many people don't realise that Arnolfini is a charity that costs around £1.8million each year to run. Funding from Arts Council England and Bristol City Council currently provide around 50% of our costs but we must raise the rest.

Your generosity is essential if Arnolfini is to maintain an innovative programme of exhibitions and events and to continue making a difference to Bristol's culture and the contemporary arts in Britain.

For over 40 years now, Arnolfini has been a meeting place and a catalyst for ideas. In this time, it has established an international reputation for its programme. Arnolfini has supported now-influential artists early in their careers and  has encouraged people of all ages and backgrounds to engage with art. It has become an intrinsic part of Bristol's cultural landscape.

This section of the site gives you some information as to how you can support Arnolfini and demonstrate your commitment to the contemporary arts.
