Become a Sponsor

SINCE 2009, HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES, TRUSTS & FOUNDATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS HAVE SUPPORTED LUMIERE

The funding that Artichoke receives from Durham County Council and Arts Council England covers just over half of the total cost of producing Lumiere and running our community projects. The rest of our funding provided by our generous partners, sponsors and donors from the North East and across the UK. Become a sponsor to help us bring spectacular light installations and an engaging year-round Learning & Participation programme to Durham.

We are delighted to have worked alongside Artichoke Trust to support its biennial light art festival, Lumiere, last November. The festival plays an important role in bringing communities together in Durham and it was a great privilege to be involved in this wonderful event.
