Where the money goes

Unlike many other galleries, AIR receive no direct government funding and we rely on sponsorship, donations and grants. Our gallery is run by volunteers , so your subscription benefits the Gallery directly, helping to:

• Support the exhibition programme

• Support emerging artists in the North West

• Contribute to the cultural footprint of their local town

• Support our volunteers of the gallery

• Enable us to host workshops and events for all aspects of the community

• Allow us to run a series of disabled-led workshops for those with specific needs.

• Support our outreach work with the community, local schools and organisations.
