By becoming a Patron you will play a vital role in making Leith School of Art's work possible and in shaping the success and growth of the School.

With your help, we will be able to support aspiring artists at entry level through a diverse portfolio of courses, offer a bursary scheme to support students in need of financial assistance, take care of our vibrant studio spaces, run outreach programmes for young people and adults, and ensure our classes are inclusive to students of all abilities, backgrounds and ages. Patrons' regular donations are unrestricted, meaning that you will support the School's most important areas of need each year.

Our close-knit community of Patrons enjoy a special relationship with Leith School of Art, receiving invitations to annual private Patron events, first access to the End of Year Exhibition's Private View and the annual Spectrum newsletter sharing updates about the impact and difference made possible through your generosity. Other benefits include discounted Weekend Workshops and Summer School courses, annual gallery visit or studio tour with the Principal and your name being added to LSA's recognition plaque.
