Why we need your support

Global art, local heart – powered by you

As a charity, Tate Liverpool fundraises to keep entry free, to care for its artworks, and deliver world-class exhibitions. We can only achieve scale and quality of impact for young people with your generosity.

Our home on Liverpool's iconic waterfront is undergoing a major transformation. The renovated building will offer bigger galleries, better facilities and unveil stunning views of the River Mersey. But just opening our doors is not enough.

At a time of crisis in arts education and increasing barriers to younger generations from experiencing amazing culture, the new Tate Liverpool will ensure world-class creativity belongs to everyone – especially young people.

In our first year alone, we will nearly double our engagement with children and young people from before closure – to over 100,000 – through free visits and activities in the gallery, in educational settings and across the region. From early years to early adulthood, we will be the region’s creative beacon by:

  • Providing free creative activities 362 days a year
  • Welcoming over 16,000 school pupils through our doors
  • Reaching 20,000 more through digital education resources
  • Providing holiday activities for families and teenagers inspired by our displays
  • Providing paid opportunities for 16–25 year olds to develop and explore their creative skills

We will give children and young people growing up in the Liverpool City Region the opportunity to discover the joy of art, to think big and dream bigger.

Together, we can secure a creative future for our city.

Your donation

Open a window, help a young person see a world of possibilities through art

As part of the transformation, we will unveil 30+ windows to the public for the first time, more than 1500+ panes of glass revealing spectacular views of the city and the Mersey. These windows have been at the heart of this building’s history. From a working dock site to a thriving art gallery and cultural beacon.

We are inviting friends and supporters to “open a window”, for themselves, or in the name of a loved one. This is a unique opportunity to become part of the building’s story and directly fund our work with young people and schools, keeping world-class art accessible for the next generation.
