Support Ikon: 60 for 60

This year marks Ikon’s 60th anniversary. Ikon remains free for everyone and committed to showcasing the best of British and International art, working with local communities to address key social issues and championing arts education.

To support Ikon’s 60th year, we are asking our visitors and supporters to consider donating to our 60 for 60 fundraising campaign. Ikon is a registered charity, and relies on support from our audiences – in response to recent funding challenges, we ask for your help to continue our work.

60 for 60 invites you to support Ikon in this very special year – this could be a one-off donation of £60, a monthly gift of £5, or any amount you are able to give. We are grateful for all donations received.

Other ways to support Ikon

Please continue to support Ikon by visiting our exhibitions; taking part in an event or workshop; joining as a Patron; choosing our independent shop for your gifts; hiring our rooms for work events; or leaving a gift in your will.

By engaging with Ikon in these ways you are helping to keep the gallery free for everyone. Thank you.

Start the Press!
The centrepiece of Start the Press! is a vintage, flatbed printing press from Wolverhampton School of Art, taking its position in the gallery as a form of protest or occupation in the tradition of the student art-school sit-ins of the 1960s, and in response to the current challenging economic landscape. A cohort of West Midlands printmakers will operate the press, producing original prints and filling the gallery walls as work is made in real time.
