Arts Council Collection

Profil

The Arts Council Collection supports artists in this country through the purchase and display of their work. Since it was founded in 1946, the Collection's acquisitions policy has always been characterised by a spirit of risk taking combined with an informed appraisal of current practice. As a consequence the Arts Council Collection is now the largest national loan collection of modern and contemporary British art in the world, and includes fine examples of work by all of this country's most prominent artists. It is the most widely circulated of all of Britain's national collections and can be seen in exhibitions in museums and galleries across the UK and abroad.

The Arts Council Collection is managed by the Southbank Centre, London, on behalf of Arts Council England and is based in London and at Longside, Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The base at Longside enables the Arts Council Collection team to extend its sculpture conservation and research programmes and to increase public access to the sculpture collection through increased lending and exhibition initiatives. A diverse and stimulating range of exhibitions from the Collection, including displays of some of the most recent acquisitions, can be seen in the adjacent Longside Gallery .
