Wysing Arts Centre

Company Profile

Wysing Arts Centre was established in 1989 through a generous act of philanthropy with the aim of establishing an inspirational workplace for artists. 30 years on, Wysing is valued as a national resource that supports artists to make ambitious new work, develop new networks, and reach new audiences. Wysing’s thriving cultural campus of ten buildings across an 11acre rural site hosts experimental residencies for UK and international artists and delivers a critically acclaimed public programme of gallery exhibitions and events, including conferences, symposia, workshops and music events.

Through consistently innovative programming, Wysing influences the development of the visual arts in the UK, Europe and, increasingly, the wider world. Operating outside the usual gallery system and urban context, Wysing’s unique position enables it to develop programmes that provide opportunities for the exchange of knowledge and ideas and which interrogate the role of art, artists, and arts organisations in contemporary society; acting as a testing ground for ideas that are fed productively back into the mainstream through the organisation’s extensive networks and partnerships.
