Our Supporters


As an independent charity, we rely on the generosity and commitment of a wide range of supporters so that our teaching can remain accessible to all those with a passion for drawing. 

In addition to those named below, we would like to thank our anonymous donors and those who remembered us with a gift in their Will. 

We owe special thanks to the loyalty of our artistic community, including everyone who waived their course refunds and donated via Just Giving during the pandemic.
