SAW's primary sources for core funding are from the public sector and memberships. We also realised the wealth of resources and expertise that other businesses can offer.  In 2010, we launched our Corporate Friends Scheme for organisations who wish to support and work with the artists of Somerset. We offer three levels of benefit, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Through the Scheme, SAW is developing greater partnership with businesses to help put art in the heart of Somerset's cultural landscape.
