Gucci Refashions Generosity At Tate
While evanescent creative directors fade in and out of Gucci’s modern existence, the house solidifies itself with eternal symbols used to innovate their incandescent Florentine Renaissance: Grace Kelly (Princess of Monaco) and the fundamental Flora print scarf, Horsebit 1955, Aldo Gucci’s interlocked monogrammed G’s…and modern art. The house blends art, technology and a concrete sense of community engagement just as effortlessly as it amalgamates springtime floral motifs with Jared Leto. Enter here their ongoing relationship with London, particularly centred inside the Tate Modern.
The Florentine luxury house has extended its partnership to support the Tate museum’s initiative, London Tate Collective Producers programme, over the next three years through the Gucci Changemakers initiative, currently in its sixth chapter. This annual program selects 50 young people from ages 16 and 25 across youth groups and educational organizations in the London boroughs local to the museum’s two branches, Tate Modern and Tate Britain. Each year, Tate Collective Producers and its assembled youth group works together to curate multi-disciplinary projects for young people in each gallery. These projects aim to provide opportunities for young people to expand their creative networks through mentorship.
'Tate’s Collective Producers programme has not only helped the gallery engage new
audiences but also provided the producers themselves with career pathways into the
arts sector. Tate Collective Producers have been at the forefront of our work with and for young people for over two decades. The generous support from Gucci will enable us to bring young people’s
creativity, ideas, and voices into the museum in new ways, and connect us to the things
that are most important to young people’s lives.'
— Mark Miller, Tate Director of Learning
Gucci fosters real growth potential with these endless narratives through the Tate Museum. The three-year programme partnership allows each recruitment process to expand to invite an assortment of new individuals to engage culturally. Additionally, Gucci will be the sole benefactor to stage the highly regarded introspective artist Tracey Emin’s next exhibition at the Tate in February 2026.
