With only a few months left of the National Partners Programme Round 2, we want to highlight some of the extraordinary digital content and resources our National Partners have created so far…
The National Partners Programme was launched in 2016 to mark the 70th anniversary of the Arts Council Collection by creating a network of regional galleries and museums to present and curate exhibitions drawn from the Arts Council Collection. The second round of National Partners for 2019-22 are Firstsite in Essex, Sunderland Culture in Tyne and Wear and Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange in Cornwall.
Funded by the National Lottery, the programme aims to build a deeper relationship with regional audiences by building a UK-wide network across regional partners, connecting local visitors to their national collection.
The National Partners have each organised an incredible array of programming drawn from the Collection in the past two years. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and national lockdowns, some of the exhibitions and engagement had to move online. Each National Partner responded quickly and creatively to this challenge by producing podcasts, video series, online workshops, virtual exhibitions, learning resources and more.
