Help us share our passion for art
Compton Verney
Bringing art to life We cannot accomplish our ambition to share our passion for art without people like you. Please support our vital work. Compton Verney is committed to sharing our passion for art with as many people as possible. As an independent gallery which receives no regular government funding, your support is vital. Now more than ever we rely on donations from visitors to help us develop and maintain our work. An award-winning art gallery, Compton Verney is sited in a Grade I-listed mansion of 1711 and set in 120 acres of Georgian parkland designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. The gallery houses six permanent collections, has an active school and visitor learning programme and hosts a changing programme of exhibitions of historic and contemporary art.
“I was sometimes overwhelmed by vast exhibitions and galleries, but found that the Compton Verney exhibitions were very accessible, stimulating and educational” Current Visitor, 2012
Please take a moment to consider making a donation
to help preserve Warwickshire’s award-winning art gallery for future
generations.
