An update on our future
Over the last decade, Van Gogh House and San Mei Gallery have fostered vital cultural hubs in Brixton, South London, where art, culture and people come together.
Last month, we were saddened to receive the news that our core funder, in response to their own unexpected challenges, was forced to withdraw their funding. Whilst we are so grateful for this funder’s support to date, their backing accounted for 50% of our income and was crucial to continuing our work into 2025 and beyond.
We remain fully committed to our mission so we are launching a fundraising campaign to secure our future. We hope that with the incredible support of our audiences we can continue contributing to London’s inspiring artistic community.
