Jerwood Foundation awards grant to Art UK

Jerwood Foundation has awarded a grant of £25,000 to Art UK. This support helps enable the publication of 48 stories on a range of artists, artworks and collections with a focus on twentieth and twenty-first century British art. The funding will also increase the range of related learning content available on Art UK covering all the major movements and styles of the period.

This generous grant enables us to bring a new focus to the twentieth- and twenty-first-century British art held in UK public collections. Telling these stories to a wide and diverse audience is a key part of Art UK's strategic vision.
