Last month, David Bell, the University’s Art Collection Curator, was invited to deliver a talk for Art UK about how the University's sculpture collection tells a story about changing trends in British public art. This was part of a series of online talks from Art UK called ‘Art Unlocked’. If you missed it, you can access a recording of the talk on YouTube. 

Loughborough’s art collection contains landscape paintings, modernist sculptures, portraits, digital works, textiles, busts, prints, furniture and more. 

Artists include well-known figures such as Bridget Riley, Lynn Chadwick, John Bratby and Edward Bawden; current and former students; and staff members from throughout the University’s history. 

New works regularly enter the collection, including the winners of the annual Edward Sharp Prize – which celebrates outstanding works from the University’s Degree Show – and works commissioned by LU Arts and Radar.
