Art UK Information

Art UK is an art education charity on a mission to make the art in UK public collections accessible to everyone, for enjoyment, learning and research. We enable global audiences to learn about the UK’s public art collection by digitising artworks, telling the stories behind the art, supporting teachers with online learning resources and creating exciting opportunities for public interaction with art, both online and offline. We also run an art detective agency. We play a major role supporting public art collections, by improving their accessibility and sustainability. 3,400 art collections share the Art UK platform to showcase their art to the world, in what is one of the largest ever arts partnerships put together in the UK. In the last 12 months, over 4.7 million unique users visited the site with over half of these from overseas and over 20% in the USA. No other country has such a resource.
