Tempted to Become an Art Patron? London’s Young Museum and Collector Groups, Explained
<p>London is home to some of the most innovative and prestigious art galleries and museums in the world—presenting radical exhibitions devised by international artists and curators. What many people don’t realise is how reliant these institutions are on the generous donations of private individuals and corporate sponsors, who receive out-of-hours access and exclusive benefits: from parties and social events, to studio visits and curator-led tours.
