As part of the VAO exhibition at The Minster Building, join us from 11am–12pm for a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the power of patronage and its role in shaping the future of contemporary art.

What does it take to build a thriving future for contemporary art?

As part of the VAO exhibition we are bringing together perspectives from across the art world, the panel will explore the vital role collectors, patrons, organisations and businesses play in supporting artists, creating opportunities and sustaining a dynamic contemporary art ecosystem.

From collecting and corporate partnerships to advocacy and engagement, we’ll consider how meaningful patronage can influence cultural conversations and help shape the artists and ideas of tomorrow.

Whether you are a collector, patron, corporate partner, gallery or art-world professional, this is an opportunity to hear from leading voices, exchange ideas and explore how we can collectively support the future of contemporary art.
