Support Us

We rely entirely on financial support from individuals, foundations and partner organisations. There are many ways to help us with our work and we hope you will support us in offering life-changing opportunities, diversifying the arts and securing the future of art history.

Art History Link-Up is a small but mighty charity making an enormous difference to the lives of the students who take their courses. We are proud to work with AHLU and to support their ambition to broaden access to the study of art.

Sponsor one of our Courses

We currently offer two free programmes for state students: Art History for Everyone (our A Level programme) and an EPQ programme for students wanting to undertake an Extended Project Qualification in art history.

We are also piloting a number of other programmes in schools, historic houses and other innovative settings, for younger secondary state students, and are happy to discuss how programme sponsorship would work and associated benefits for supporters.

If you are interested in supporting our courses please get in touch at supporters@arthistorylinkup.org

Art History is under threat

We believe art history should be for everyone, however fewer than 1% of state supported secondary schools offer Art History A Level. As a result, there is a lack of diversity in the arts sector and an increasing skills shortage. We are the only charity offering formal Art History teaching to school-aged students from all backgrounds. Your financial support will ensure that everyone has an opportunity to study art history: together we can transform the future of the arts.
