Delfina’s global networks of patrons enable us to work with artists from every region of the world. Our Network of North America patrons create opportunities for creative practitioners in the United States and Canada, especially from indigenous and other underserved communities who have in the past found it harder to access opportunities like international residencies.

Delfina’s Network of North America Patrons builds on Delfina’s Studio’s history of nurturing the careers of artists such as Mark Dion, Mika Rottenberg, Janet Cardiff, Wade Guyton, and Rob Pruitt, alongside recent residencies at Delfina Foundation for Kevin Beasley, Liz Glynn, Eric N. Mack, and Candice Lin.

As with all our other Networks, donors will be able to nominate artists for residencies, and receive invitations to special events with the artists their Network funds. Additionally, donors receive a warm welcome at Delfina whenever they’re in London, and access includes:

  • Personal opportunities to engage with our residency and events programmes, including invitations to our renowned ‘Family Lunch’
  • Introductions to the UK art scene and personal networking opportunities
  • Invitations to exclusive international events and trips (depending on level of support)

And our global network means Delfina powers connection wherever you happen to be in the world – not only for the artists we work with, but also our international community of supporters.
