Our Founder Partners and Partners are key stakeholders in Art UK, representing the core body of UK art collections. We are grateful for their ongoing support and valuable feedback.

These collections support Art UK financially by paying an annual subscription. This allows them to:

• participate in the Art UK Shop to generate revenue at no extra cost
• publicise events and exhibitions through listings and stories
• add more artworks to Art UK (prints, drawings, watercolours and photography, alongside painting and sculpture)
• host their own learning resources on Art UK's learning pages
