The modern and contemporary loan collection features work from renowned artists like David Hockney and Craigie Aitchison is already on display in public buildings around the Island and the organisation is wanting the art to reach as many people as possible.  

The National collection was first started in 1993 by Eileen Schaer and David Fletcher to expand people's minds from artwork further afield and is around 300 pieces in size. 

As well as being available to view digitally, public bodies such as schools and the hospital can apply to the Arts Council to display a piece on loan - you can find out more about borrowing HERE.
