The ICONS Syndicate

In 2022, the founding members of the ICONS Syndicate supported the international exhibition Shakespeare to Winehouse: Icons from the National Portrait Gallery, London. Their generous support contributed to the success of the exhibition. We now see an opportunity to grow the ICONS Syndicate program to continue to support of the Gallery’s major exhibition program each year. The National Portrait Gallery is seeking a group of like-minded individuals and organisations to become members of the ICONS Syndicate. We also hope that our founding ICONS Syndicate members will consider continuing their commitment to our exhibition program.
