In 2020, the Government Art Collection (GAC) launched Art X-UK working in collaboration with CVAN across regions in England, Scottish Contemporary Art Network (SCAN), Visual Arts Group Wales (VAGW) and networks in Northern Ireland to acquire over 90 works by artists across the UK.
Following the success of the pilot scheme the GAC will work with two to three networks a year until 2027, with each nominating artists to be considered for acquisition. For 2022-23 the GAC are working with the Visual Arts Group Wales, CVAN East Midlands and West Midlands!
