Make a lasting impact on Warwick Arts Centre

The history of Warwick Arts Centre and philanthropy are inextricably linked. Helen Martin, a Kenilworth resident with a passion for classical music was known as a regular attendee at Arts Centre concerts - but it was only later that she was revealed to be the anonymous founding donor, without whose support the Arts Centre wouldn't exist.

It is in this spirit that we ask for your help today. Helen was hugely committed to the transformative power of music and the arts, as we know many of today's Arts Centre patrons are. By modernising our spaces we will ensure that Warwick Arts Centre remains a "must go" cultural destination. These changes include:

Opening up the foyer to create a welcoming and vibrant space
An additional cinema screen for more film performances and a more varied programme
Relocating the mead gallery to the ground floor to make it more accessible and visible
A new restaurant

We recognised Helen's contribution by naming the newest Arts Centre venue after her - the Helen Martin Studio - and for gifts above £500 we can recognise your contribution in a similar way. For these gifts, we will name a seat in the Butterworth Hall for you, or dedicate it to someone you would like to honour. That way, your name/dedication will become part of the fabric of the Arts Centre, continuing the legacy of philanthropy into the future.

Any amount you give will support the redevelopment of the Arts Centre, ensuring that we can continue to enchant, inspire and educate audiences for many generations to come.

Privacy notice

While we will try to make ‘your’ seat available when you visit, we cannot guarantee this will always be possible. People with named seats must still pay the usual admission price for events in the Hall. If you are paying by Direct Debit and cancel before the agreed total is met, sadly we will have to remove your plaque. Once fully paid for, plaques will remain in place until we next refurbish; this is likely to be over ten years away. We will use the details you have provided to process your donation. If you have opted in above we will send you occasional updates. You can unsubscribe from our communications and update your details at any time. Contact us by emailing dataservices@warwick.ac.uk or visit www.warwickgrad.net. Please read our full alumni, donor and stakeholder privacy notice here.
