On sculpture, elitism and Brexit: the art of Yinka Shonibare
Posted 30 Sep 2019, by Lydia Figes
We are putting the nation's art online, in partnership with over 3,000 public art collections. There are already over 200,000 artworks on Art UK and the number's growing.
The art is from museums, universities, town halls, hospitals and even a lighthouse. Much of it isn't usually on display. At the moment it's mainly oil paintings but we're adding watercolours and works on paper, with the nation's sculpture planned to join soon.
We commission and write about artists, artworks, exhibitions and the stories behind paintings, from the world famous to the obscure.
We would love you to get involved in the project. For example, you could help tag artworks or contribute knowledge through Art Detective. Also, if you can, please support us financially to ensure that we can continue our work.
Art UK is for everyone who wants to see art, visit art and discover the stories behind the art of the United Kingdom. Welcome to the nation's art.

Art & Technology For Everyone
Training
One of the biggest barriers to installing art created with technology is the fear of the technology itself, and the constant worry about what can go wrong. We have several years of experience working with a huge range of technologies and the artists that create with them, allowing us to advise on archiving and collecting works. Using our 'always on' approach to installation, we can design one or a series of workshops for your curatorial and technical staff on how to manage the latest technology.
Lumen Art Projects has been supporting artists working with technology since 2012. We curate, produce and commission art and technology events around the world.
Our network includes over 400 artists working with technology, all of whom have either won or been shortlisted for our annual competition for art and technology, the Lumen Prize.
Through our annual juried competition, exhibitions, seminars and commissions, we aim to share the future of art with everyone.
