Art Quarterly, our highly acclaimed magazine, and our annual Review, a compendium of the works The Art Fund has helped to purchase during the year, are sent free of charge to all our members.
Art Quarterly
Richly produced and full of lively articles by celebrated art experts, writers and personalities such as Joan Bakewell, Martin Gayford, Joanna Lumley and Alexander McCall Smith, Art Quarterly is a publication that people collect and go on enjoying long after new issues arrive.
Thought-provoking features entertain, educate and inform, keeping readers in touch with current events in the art world. Extensive coverage of Art Fund campaigns and grant-giving activities helps to stimulate debate. We also keep members informed about our work by highlighting acquisitions made with their help, events, lectures and special offers.
Art Quarterly appears every quarter, with issues published spring (March), summer (June), autumn (September) and winter (December).

Review
Each year we publish a catalogue of all the works of art acquired by museums and galleries with the help of Art Fund members during the preceding year. We are now delighted to make the 2006 Review (published June 2007) available on-line for even more people to enjoy.
The 2006 Review begins with a section at the front outlining The Art Fund’s history and setting out our main activities. And to accompany it, we invited photographer Nick Turpin to come to Millais House and take photographs on one of the days when The Art Fund Board of Trustees met to discuss grants.
After the annual report and accounts comes the catalogue of works of art acquired with your help, listed alphabetically by location and accompanied by an entry written by the museum curator responsible.
We hope you enjoy reading the Review, and that by making it available on-line we help throw a little light on how The Art Fund works.
If you would like to find out how you can obtain a copy of the Review, please call 020 7225 4800.
