Art UK

Art UK is an art education charity and the online home to every public art collection in the UK. The organization is dedicated to democratizing access to art, aiming to make the UK's public art collections available to a global audience for enjoyment, learning, and research. This is facilitated by the digitization of artworks, storytelling about the art, provision of online learning resources for teachers, and the creation of engaging opportunities for public interaction with art, both online and offline. Notably, Art UK also operates an "art detective agency." The impact of Art UK is significant, with 3,400 art collections utilizing the platform to showcase their art, making it one of the largest arts partnerships in the UK. Over the past 12 months, the platform has attracted over 4.7 million unique users, with more than half of these visitors originating from overseas, and over 20% arriving from the USA, making it a valuable resource on a global scale. Founded in 2003 and based in the United Kingdom, Art UK plays a pivotal role in improving the accessibility and sustainability of public art collections. The organization's dedication to making art accessible to all aligns with contemporary trends towards digitalization and democratization of art and culture.
