Trusts and foundations

Trusts and foundations play a crucial role in the work of the Corn Exchange. They enable us to attract the widest possible audiences by programming a number of art forms at affordable prices, developing those art forms, and promoting the education in the arts to people of all ages and backgrounds.

How our partnerships work

We work with trusts and foundations in many different ways, including to:

• Support learning and participation opportunities
• Commission new work
• Support artists at different stages of their careers
• Bring the highest standard of performing arts to Newbury
• Enhance our technical and production facilities
• Engage young people and their families in creative activities
• Support the development of emerging creative artists through workshop and performance opportunities
• Welcome first-time audiences in an accessible and engaging way

If you are interested in becoming involved please contact our General Manager, Ruth Cadiot.
