The International 3

BECOME A PATRON OF THE INTERNATIONAL 3 AND MAKE YOUR MARK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ART, ARTISTS AND ARTS ORGANISATIONS ACROSS THE REGION.

As a Patron you will enable The International 3 to continue to support the artistic and career development of emerging and mid-career artists through a programme of high quality visual art exhibitions and events, presented both on and off-site. You will support the commissioning of new work, the presentation of solo and group exhibitions, the commissioning of critical essays, an artists’ talks programme and The International 3’s participation in national and international art fairs which helps us to advance artists’ careers. With a special focus on supporting emerging artists from our region, The International 3 is committed to regional talent development and to raising the profile of the region as a place where world class contemporary art is made and presented. As a not for profit organisation all income received is directed towards these key objectives.

As a Patron you will also support a Collector Development programme, devised and delivered by freelance consultant, Mark Doyle (Former Head of Collector Development, Contemporary Art Society North) in collaboration with The International 3. This work will advance The International 3’s remit to nurture a locally based market for contemporary art and will add to our other activity in this area such as the role we play as part of the team developing and delivering The Manchester Contemporary art fair. The Collector Development programme will comprise of : 6 x daylong events the purpose of which will be to gain a deeper access to and understanding of the artists and organisations that make up our regional visual art ecology, the presentation of a third edition of Art in Home, where galleries are invited to curate an exhibition at the invitation of a series of guest home-owners and a guided trip of Venice Biennial (subject to interest).

This is a time-sensitive request as up until late June 2015, The International 3 is a recipient of a Catalyst match funding grant from Arts Council England where for every £1.50 we receive in private giving from individuals, businesses or Trust and Foundations, we can draw down £1 of confirmed match funding.
