Our committed Patrons play a vital role in driving forward the iai’s mission to put philosophy
and big ideas back into the heart of public life.

By joining our Patron Circle, you enable ideas to flourish, increase access to ground-breaking theories
and educational resources, and empower audiences to critically engage with the issues that matter.

We value our Patrons, not just as supporters of the iai but as members of our community.
You are invited to get to know our team, speakers and artists through an exclusive programme of live festival and online events.
