Celebrating 5 years of public ownership
In 2020, Art Fund led a campaign to raise £3.5 million to save Prospect Cottage - the former home of artist, writer, filmmaker and gay-rights activist Derek Jarman. It was the UK's largest crowdfunding campaign, receiving more than 8,000 donations from the public, including many Art Fund members. Discover the full story and how Prospect Cottage continues to inspire today.
