From curatorial research and transporting loans to conservation, restoration and production, staging exhibitions of excellence comes at a large cost. The Exhibition Circle is an exclusive network of art enthusiasts who provide vital support to help The Lightbox deliver art exhibitions of a world-class standard of both national and international significance, and provides support for our own collections.

Exhibition Circle Patron, and highly acclaimed Woking-born sculptor, Sean Henry says:
"The Exhibition Circle supports the notion that smaller galleries outside major cities can stage exhibitions of world-class-significance. The Lightbox has, in recent years, staged some tremendous shows in Woking and long may this continue!"

In special recognition of their support, Circle members can expect a closer association with our critically-acclaimed exhibition programme, enjoying exclusive Director, Curator or Artist hosted events in a selection of private homes and venues of creative or historic interest, as well as invitations to the Director’s Reception at Private Views. In addition, our Curatorial team can offer helpful advice and support to individuals with an interest in expanding or starting their own collection.
