"I'm over the moon to be a new patron for Contact. Its wonder-inducing turrets enticed me to join the young company 15 years ago and I've never looked back. It's a space that has shaped me, inspired me, taught me, nurtured me. When I step over the threshold I instantly feel welcome and I can guarantee any show seen here will move you, change you, and offer you a perspective you hadn't previously considered. I can't wait to help Contact welcome in a whole new generation of artists, thinkers, dreamers, movers and shakers!"
