At Art UK we are on a mission to democratise access to the nation's art collection.

Help us make this possible. Become an Art UK Citizen.

Art UK is a young charity, doing vital work to provide universal free access to the nation's art.

By making a monthly donation of £2.50 you will help us keep art alive and relevant for generations to come. If you feel you are able to give more, your donation would be gratefully received.

Because 80% of the nation's art collection is not on public view, as an Art UK Citizen you will be helping us to ensure what is publicly owned is publicly accessible – for enjoyment, learning and research.

As a thank you, you will receive:

• a quarterly newsletter from our Director, keeping you up to date with our work
• a pack of 12 art postcards to share with friends and spread the word
• a £5 voucher to spend on Art UK products in our online shop

Please join us and spread the word – sign up as an Art UK Citizen today
