The Great Escape - Register your interest

Join The Great Escape

Take part in Art Fund’s next big adventure as we launch The Great Escape - a national participatory project taking place in the 2022/23 academic year.

What is the project?

The Great Escape will highlight museum, gallery and historic house collections at the centre of your communities across the UK. The project invites children and young people to explore the themes of nature and biodiversity and contribute to a national artwork that will be unveiled in spring 2023.

Why we need you

We are developing exciting, high-profile partnerships and inviting well-known artists and naturalists to help you connect with local communities and young audiences through storytelling and drawing workshops from September 2022. These activities will culminate in a nationwide family weekend in spring 2023. To make this a success, we need you!
