Arts Award and Art UK

Art UK host public art collections from across the UK, bringing together art from over 3400 British institutions, with over 300,000 works by over 50,000 artists. Art UK makes art accessible to all; it is a free digital platform which is provided for enjoyment, learning and research.

Arts Award and Art UK have created a freely available mapping resource aligning their outreach activity with Discover, Explore and Bronze levels of Arts Award. The mapping resource reflects on how Arts UK's The Superpower of Looking activity can be used to deliver Arts Award.

A free Arts Award Discover arts log focussed on The Superpower of Looking is also available, which young people can use as they work towards Arts Award through their Art UK activity.
