ARTIST ROOMS Research Partnership

ARTIST ROOMS is a major collection of modern and contemporary art owned jointly by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland. It was established in 2008 through Anthony d’Offay’s extraordinary donation of work, and assisted by the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the Art Fund and the Scottish and British Governments.
This growing collection has the special purpose of engaging young people and is being shared with galleries and museums throughout the UK thanks to the support of the Art Fund, the fundraising charity for works of art.
The ARTIST ROOMS Research Partnership has come together with the collective aim of forging a new kind of initiative to develop high quality and engaging research around the ARTIST ROOMS collection and associated activities.
Working together with the two museums, NGS and Tate, the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, in collaboration with the Universities of Newcastle and Strathclyde, have formed a new university consortium that together will generate and disseminate scholarly research around the collection and its use.
