Art Collection policy
The Scottish Parliament Art Collection is a collection of contemporary art, sculpture, craft and photography. The collection was acquired for display in the Scottish Parliament building. It represents a diverse range of Scotland’s artists, makers and photographers.
The aims of the policy are to:
- represent Scotland’s living artists practising contemporary visual art, sculpture, craft or photography
- seek opportunities to increase the diversity of artists represented in the collection
- make information about the art and artists represented in the collection accessible to audiences in Scotland and elsewhere
- build on existing collection themes exploring: the relationship between people and the environment; the identities and histories of Scotland’s peoples; and the history of the Scottish Parliament
- develop the collection in response to the unique and historical architectural settings of the Parliament buildings and gardens
- display art in the Parliament for the benefit of the public, educational groups, Members, staff, event attendees and other building users
- only collect artworks which we can care for, conserve, store, display and interpret to professional collection
