Manchester's Whitworth Art Gallery offers companies the opportunity to sponsor all aspects of its work, including exhibitions and private views, learning and interpretation projects for schools, projects for young people, capital projects, conservation and the purchase of artworks.

A number of attractive sponsorship opportunities are available currently, including the following projects:

Child Art
This summer 2008 exhibition explores the psychology and motivation behind art made by children, drawing on historic and contemporary teaching methods and the importance of childrens art to a wide range of contemporary artists.

Cloth and Culture Now
Autumn 2008 exhibition showcasing international contemporary textile artists. Always popular at the Whitworth, contemporary textile exhibitions attract young audiences, art and design students, artists and makers and the genuinely curious. A great opportunity to reach design-conscious and trendy twenty and thirty-somethings.

Subversive Spaces
Exploring Surrealism and its legacy, this exhibition promises to be a highlight of 2009 at the Whitworth.

Learning and interpretation programme
The Whitworth has ongoing sponsorship opportunities for businesses of all sizes to support innovative and exciting education projects for all ages. They are currently seeking sponsorship for their ongoing work with schools, post-16 learners, families and young people outside school hours.

Capital Development
Over the next few years, the Gallery will be undertaking a capital development which will open up the gallery to Whitworth Park and its local communities. Including a new study centre, storage for collections and learning facilities, this will create a gallery for the twenty-first century.
