Art Council goes digital
Arts Council England plans to create a digital gallery to allow the public to view its entire 7,547-piece modern art collection online by next year. Works in the collection, by artists such as Francis Bacon and Damien Hirst, are loaned to galleries and public spaces in the UK. So far, 1,500 paintings have been digitised.
Arts staff survey unveiled
The National Campaign for the Arts is inviting people working across the sector, from volunteers to trustees and chief executives, to complete a Cultural Workforce survey online.
