Corporate Support
The Whitworth is dedicated to offering the best possible cultural entertainment to people from across the North West and enriching local communities through education and participation. We believe the corporate community shares this commitment and invite your support.
Whether your company seeks community presence, brand visibility or unique opportunities for corporate entertainment, the Whitworth can create a sponsorship opportunity to meet your objectives.
Supporters allow the Whitworth to offer a wide range of public benefits which would otherwise be impossible. Over the next few years the Gallery will be investing in major capital development work which will allow us to create better facilities for all our visitors.
The gallery is the 2011 winner of the Lever Prize. The prize celebrates world class cultural organisations in the region and is given by the NorthWest Business Leadership Team
There has never been a better time to build a partnership with the Whitworth!
For further details please contact Jo Beggs, Head of Development and Resources, email Jo.Beggs@manchester.ac.uk or telephone (0161) 275 7474.
