Next year, 2024, will be a memorable year as we celebrate 30 years of creating pioneering work, presenting and promoting the most dynamic talents of today and tomorrow.
From our first international tour to Hungary and the Czech Republic in 1995 with the British Council to current collaborations with Egypt, Ukraine and Vietnam, we have reached more communities and made a bigger impact than ever before.
To date, Angels’ donations have enabled new collaborations, commissions, residencies and no end of installations and performances at home. However, today, we need your help more than ever, and with your support, we can provide new adventures and collaborations for the talent of tomorrow.
I really hope you will join us on the next stage in our journey; what we have achieved so far could not have happened without all our supporters. Cryptic Angels make a huge difference to the to the artists that we work. You can support and join them on their creative journeys from as little as £60 per year, £5 each month or a one off donation.
