Philanthropy

“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” Maya Angelou

Zari Gallery is proud to support philanthropic initiatives both here and abroad to bring our belief in the unreasonable power of hope to life. From giving artists around the world the opportunity to exhibit and develop their work – including supporting them to overcome any barriers along the way – to provide free exhibition space for charity and NGO projects, we always strive to share our resources for good.

Of course, education is key to building a better tomorrow. That’s what led us to set up a number of in-house learning opportunities, including a business skills programme for young artists and partnerships with local arts educators for outreach events. We embrace art’s ability to provoke critical thinking in our programming, putting the most urgent issues that humanity faces front and centre, from the climate crisis to social justice and beyond.

We fund all of our philanthropic work using a portion of Zari Gallery sales – buying art from us is an investment in the future of the arts. Thank you.

Artist Ambassadors

We invite artists who have shown with us to ‘give back’ by becoming Artist Ambassadors. Our Artist Ambassadors provide mentorship to artists working with us, deliver workshops and host talks. They support our charitable aims and also help promote our ticketed exhibitions and membership programme. We provide an induction into their role as well as ongoing support for their practices and professional development (both as artists and cultural leaders). Our Artist Ambassadors play a significant role as Zari Gallery holds exhibitions, artist commissions, collection displays, education resources and inspiring art courses. We ensure there’s always something free to see.
