Donations
make a difference
Established in 1938, St Ives School of Painting has been a registered charity since 2000. Every gift, however large or small, will help us to keep enriching people’s lives through art.
St Ives School of Painting Support Fund
With no shareholders, no owners to create profits for, every penny of income is ploughed back into the charity. Our aim is to enrich people’s lives by nurturing and enabling their creative spirit.
Everyone is welcome whatever their background or level of experience. We provide high quality tuition both in our studios in St Ives and online for you to watch at home or in your studio.
Your kind donation will help us to continue to provide a nurturing, safe space for young people across Cornwall who might not have access to the arts. Through our regular Sunday club for local youngsters, and our inclusion projects run in partnership with specialist organisations, we can provide life changing experiences for young people who may be excluded from school, living in poverty or too ill to attend regular school.
If you enjoy and value what we do, please give as much as you can afford so we can continue this valuable work, enriching people’s lives.
Our Registered Charity Number is 1146825.
