12201166278?profile=originalArt UK is holding a conference as the culmination of nearly four years' work to digitise thousands of sculptures across the UK, held in collections and seen in public spaces.

There will be talks from Art UK staff on sculpture digitisation, our learning and engagement programme and new sculpture discoveries through Art Detective. We will share best practice on photography of sculpture, running community engagement events and delivering innovative activities for schools, plus lectures on the historical photography of sculpture.

Talks from curators, art historians and learning professionals will consider public sculpture, innovative learning programmes, diversity and colonialism, and new discoveries in sculpture and sculptor research. These include presentations from our project partners VocalEyes, CultureStreet, the Royal Society of Sculptors and the Royal Photographic Society.

The conference's keynote session will see artist Jeremy Deller in conversation with renowned Classicist and Art UK Patron Mary Beard, as they discuss their views on public art in the UK. The discussion will touch on how they feel about the debate around contentious statues and their removal, and their thoughts on the role of art and sculpture in our public spaces.
