Take part in Art History Festival 2026
Arts organisations across the UK are invited to host free festival events for public audiences
We invite a variety of free events including talks, tours, demonstrations, workshops, panel discussions, walks and family events. We are keen to attract more participative and discursive events, including wellbeing and art workshops, community-driven and youth-led activities. Events may offer a sanctuary for inspiration and renewal or act as a platform for serious reflection and debate.
Become an Art History Schools Champion
We’re inviting academics, curators, artists and art market professionals to take part in a week‑long, nationwide collaboration to bring Art History to schools. Our goal is to inspire the next generation — showing just how exciting, relevant, and diverse the subject can be. By synchronising our voices between 5–11 October, we can create a powerful, nationwide moment for Art History. Become an Art History in Schools Champion.
