In 2022, the Arts Council Collection, one of the largest national loan collections of modern and contemporary art, acquired 58 artworks by 32 artists. This acquisition was funded by the National Lottery and focused on supporting artists living and working in Britain, particularly those in the early or critical stages of their careers. The collection is widely circulated throughout the UK, with works regularly loaned to museums, public institutions, schools, universities, hospitals, and charitable associations. Key Highlights of the 2022 Acquisitions:


  • Focus on British artists: The acquisitions aimed to support and promote artists based in the UK, with a particular emphasis on those working outside of London, including artists from Manchester, Hastings, Ramsgate, and Lincolnshire. 
  • Early career support: The collection actively purchases work from artists early in their careers, providing crucial support and recognition. 
  • Wide circulation: The Arts Council Collection is known for its extensive loan program, making its artworks accessible to a wide range of public institutions and organisations across the UK.
