Art UK is very excited to announce the launch of our new online talk series Art Unlocked, developed in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies. Each week, different museum and gallery curators and directors from across the UK will deliver a 30-minute talk on selected works from their collection.

Art Unlocked will provide our Partner collections with the opportunity to showcase five or six artworks from their permanent collection to Art UK's large and growing audience. These chosen artworks will also feature in a Curation on the Art UK site.
