The Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery play an essential role in the life and work of the Gallery. Independent of the Gallery they raise funds to support the exhibitions programme and specific projects. Many of the Gallery's most popular events - concerts, lectures, dinners, parties, visits etc - are entirely organised by the Friends and they share a real sense of community. Above all the Friends represent the Gallery's roots within the community.
