Artichoke Hearts
Artichoke Hearts is our supporters club, which helps us make accessible and inspiring projects happen. Every donation that we receive, no matter how small, is vital to us.

Can you spare £3.50 a month to support Artichoke?
There’s no escaping the fact that our events are big in scale, big in ambition, and big in spectacle. Our events are almost always free to enjoy and bring moments of joy and delight to the lives of thousands upon thousands of people around the UK and beyond. But we need your support to make them happen.
As a registered charity, Artichoke relies on Arts Council subsidy and other funding, project sponsors, trusts and foundations, and keen supporters who like what we do. We can’t create our work without the support of any of them. The future of arts funding is uncertain, particularly over the next few years. We need all the help you can offer whilst we figure out a new philanthropic landscape. That’s why we need you, too.
Make a donation today to enjoy the satisfaction of sharing in the creation of events that bring surprise, pleasure and delight to thousands of people. Whatever you can afford, it will make a real difference.
We have several tiers of Heart, all with their own benefits. Simply choose the one that suits you and donate today.

Project appeal
Donate nowIf you would rather offer your support on a short-term basis, our Project Appeal offers you the opportunity to give funds to a particular project that we are working on. You might choose to give because the project is visiting your hometown or it might represent something close to your heart. Whatever your reason, giving to the project appeal means that all funds raised will go directly to support an element of that project and no other.
You can give as much or as little as you like safe in the knowledge that you are helping a part of the project happen which otherwise might not. We’ll keep you posted with how the project is developing so you can see the results of your donation.
The money we receive through Artichoke Hearts goes directly towards funding our projects. For example, next year we hope to use the money donated by Artichoke Hearts to pay for a new artwork for Lumiere 2011.
