Art Quarterly is our highly acclaimed magazine, mailed out to Art Fund members four times a year. Beautifully produced, it gives the latest news about exhibitions and what’s going on in the art world, and is full of lively and informative articles by celebrated experts. Every summer we produce a bumper issue which includes our annual Review. It’s a roundup of everything the Art Fund has done over the past year and all the art that has entered collections with the help of our supporters.
