Be an Angel

Artangel's patrons are known as Angels. Without their generosity, we simply could not do what we do.

From the inside of a Scottish mountain, or along the dusty alleyways of Toledo in Spain, to hidden parts of London you didn’t know existed, Artangel will take you on an adventure.  

Spectacular, contemplative, unnerving, exciting – no two projects are the same. With your help, artists can do extraordinary things and change the way in which we see and experience the world around us.

You will receive a signed, limited edition memento each year made by an artist Artangel has commissioned. You will enjoy being the first to see new work, and hear from the artists themselves at previews, talks and dinners.
