WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

Sarabande Foundation was established at the bequest of Lee Alexander McQueen CBE to champion emerging creatives who are fearless in their vision. Named after his 2007 Spring/Summer collection, Sarabande exists because Lee believed that extraordinary talent deserves the same opportunities he received — to take risks, to innovate and to reshape culture. Today, Sarabande supports creatives through three main streams of activity:

- Scholarships and bursaries

- Subsidised studio spaces with a deep support network

- A year-round events programme of workshops, talks and industry insight

THANKS TO SUPPORTERS LIKE YOU:

- We have supported over 320 artists from 42+ countries

- We have awarded £1.6 million in scholarships to date

- We have welcomed 35,000+ visitors through our public events

- And every year, a new cohort of 27 artists moves into our studios

JOIN THE MISSION

Sarabande is entirely self-funded. Our running costs now exceed £1.2 million per year, and we receive no public funding.

Your donation — of any size — directly sustains the artists who will define the future of art, fashion, craft and design, and preserves Lee’s legacy of creativity without compromise.

Your support directly contributes to the sustainability and future development of one of the leading independent arts organisations in London. We develop a close and reciprocal relationship with all our benefactors, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a tailored package of benefits whilst enabling Sarabande to flourish and increase the opportunities we offer to artists.
