MAJOR DONORS

Become a patron of the arts

Our landmark project aims to locate a significant work of public art by award winning British sculptor, Nicola Anthony. The vision is to create a major permanent artwork in the borough of Wokingham.

If you are an individual or corporate organisation that would like to make a substantial contribution and enjoy a number of exclusive benefits, we would love to hear from you.

Why invest in public art in Wokingham Borough?

The historic market town of Wokingham is regularly highlighted in surveys as one of the best places to live in the UK by the Halifax Quality of Life survey.

To further enhance its desirability the town has recently undergone significant regeneration, refining and adding to its already established retail, leisure, business and residential profile.

At the heart of Wokingham’s redevelopment is the new Carnival Hub, a sports, leisure and cultural complex. In addition to the Hub’s appeal as a destination in its own right, the site constitutes a key strategic location.  Thousands of pedestrians and motorists pass by every day en route to the town centre, heading to and from Wokingham’s railway station or simply journeying through the area.

This prominent and distinctive site will quickly become a well-recognised, noted and much visited venue, with The Arc at its heart.

How to support

In keeping with Wokingham’s level of ambition, the project has set a budget of £200,000 for Nicola Anthony’s landmark work of art. It’s anticipated that funding will come from a mixture of grants, sponsorship and donations.  

If you are a major private donor, company or corporate organisation, wishing to publicly declare your enthusiasm and support for this venture, we are offering the opportunity to contribute at one of three levels: Silver, Gold and Platinum. These tiers will reflect the scale of your contribution.
