Fund Raising
The Arts Foundation Guernsey...raising funds for the ARTS in GUERNSEY
The Arts Foundation Guernsey is the fund raising arm of Guernsey Arts and aims to involve the community in strengthening the support and development of the arts in Guernsey. It seeks to do this by helping to put the arts on a solid financial footing so that they may continue to play a major role in the life and wellbeing of islanders - find out more.
Arts Foundation Guernsey Events
Arts Foundation Guernsey is the fundraising arm of Guernsey Arts - Supporting, Promoting & Inspiring Art and Culture in Guernsey.
Arts Foundation Guernsey acts as an autonomous fundraising organisation alongside Guernsey Arts to support local artists in all sectors and to enable a wider presence of the arts across the Bailiwick of Guernsey. We often focus on less traditional funding requirements that are not able to access the funding from the States of Guernsey allocated by Guernsey Arts. To this end we enable emerging talent across the spectrum of the arts including Performing and Visual Arts, Music, Literature, New Media, Film and Design.

Our Vision & Values
Guernsey Arts aim is for the Bailiwick of Guernsey to be seen as a unique, vibrant, artistic and creative community both within the Islands and beyond.
We Support individuals and groups in all art forms to develop their art and to build an audience. Depending upon needs we offer publicity on our website, exhibition space and opportunity for financial support, including the allocation of States funding for the arts. We also encourage and facilitate cooperation within the arts scene in Guernsey.
We Promote creativity and arts to all communities in the Bailiwick of Guernsey and to those beyond. We are inclusive and engage actively with individuals, groups, schools and societies. We also work with individuals, businesses, trusts and States bodies in order to increase funding, resources and facilities for the arts in the Bailiwick.
We Inspire creative and artistic activities across the Bailwick by creating and promoting new artistic ventures and by encouraging existing events and organisations to develop further. As part of this we encourage existing festivals and events and will seed ideas and funding for new festivals and events in order to enrich the cultural landscape of the Bailiwick.
