Founded in 2005 by Helen Marriage and Nicky Webb, the company’s aim is to work with artists to create unique, large-scale experiences that appeal to the widest possible audience. We don’t believe the arts should take place only behind the closed doors of theatres, concert halls or galleries. Instead, you will find us working in the street, public squares, along the coast or in the countryside.
From London to Liverpool, Durham and Derry~Londonderry, we have transformed places across the UK. Bringing communities together through our learning and participation work, we leave a legacy of skills and newfound potential behind.

For the next month, 11 artists have their work exhibited in a ‘gallery without walls’ – that is, on billboards and digital screens around the UK – with the aim of provoking public debate and saying something about the issues of our time. This year’s submissions were on the theme of ‘the state we’re in’ and address disability, housing, the pandemic, mental health, refugees, capitalism and Boris Johnson’s birthday cake
This gallery was produced as part of a media partnership between the Guardian and Artichoke, reflecting the Guardian’s support for arts and culture initiatives

Art in the context of the anthropocene, environmentalism & the climate crisis
The Climate Art Collection is a Berlin based association that publishes and curates climate and nature related artworks. Our aim is to make climate change and its associated impacts accessible and approachable to a global audience, as well as to preserve the beauty of our planet. Contrary to traditional art collections acquiring & owning artworks exclusively, artists give us the rights to curate their artworks for the cause of climate awareness, whereas the artwork ownership & rights stay solely at the artist. Climate change is here and it is real. We are constantly confronted with it, avoiding it is no longer possible. Extreme weather conditions, rising sea levels, forest fires, infertile soils, melting permafrost or ocean warming - there are countless other, no less dramatic examples. Let's face it, in the long run we are not only destroying our own existence, but also that of millions of other living beings.
„If anything, art is... about morals, about our belief in humanity. Without that, there simply is no art.”

Art is a very powerful medium with which experiences, events and feelings can be expressed and visualized. We are convinced that art addressing climate topics does not yet receive enough attention. Therefore, we make it our task to use this medium in order to spread a collective message in the world: artists as environmentalist. The initiative aims to be inclusive towards all kinds of artists and art formats, everyone is welcome to participate. We invite practitioners to contribute their own works through our digital submission channel. Selected artworks and the platform itself are constantly curated for external projects and campaigns.
Read MoreThe idea of Collect Art came to light at the end of December 2019, in order to support Georgian and international artists during the pandemic, however, the experience accumulated over the years and current processes pushed us to play more with Collect Art and give it different workloads.
On January 1, 2020, Collect Art was launched in the online space and we started to reach our goal. The online space allowed us to quickly reach the voice of the international artistic field. In the autumn of the same year, we started publishing magazines, and at the same time launching online exhibitions, the number of interested artists has already exceeded 500, from 96 countries of the world. In total, we have released 16 issues of seasonal magazines and special editions.
During 3 years, we were able to help several successful artists, such as Nata Buachidze, Salome Kobulashvili, Tamriko Melikishvili, George Chaushba, and many more, whose works were exhibited at the Paris Art Week, the Venice Biennale, the National Museum of Madrid and etc...
The purpose of Collect Art is to build a bridge between Georgian and international cultural events and artists, to give a chance others to think from a different perspective, and to make art even more accessible to those interested in the field of culture.
