Supporting new art

Outset Contemporary Art Fund was founded in 2003 as a philanthropic organisation dedicated to supporting new art. The charitable foundation focuses on bringing private funding from its supporters and trustees to public museums, galleries, and art projects.

The fund uses its independent platform to give new audiences proximity to the visual arts, building long-lasting relationships within the international artistic community.

Addressing the need for flexible, early-stage funding within the public arena, Outset enables ambitious non-commercial ventures and acquisitions. Since its inception, the fund has supported most of London's leading visual arts institutions with capital campaign, education, outreach and programming needs and donated nearly one hundred works of challenging contemporary art to public institutions across Britain and abroad.
