"Art History in Schools is a purposeful and timely initiative, driven and created by passionate professionals to counter the marginalisation of history of art teaching at secondary level and to ensure that every child has access to this great discipline (in which the UK has for so long played a global leading role)."
James Hughes-Hallett,
Chairman of the Courtauld Institute of Art
Art History in Schools CIO was founded in 2015 with the educational, moral and financial support of James, who had previously secured the first ever grant for the Association of Art Historians – to fund the state sector art history programme (known as MSHAP), run by fellow AHiS trustee Caroline Osborne since 2007. As Chairman of the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and retired Chairman of the Courtauld Institute of Art, his expertise and advice were invaluable. AHiS is eternally grateful that he dedicated his time and energy, to the very end, to support AHiS teachers writing the National Extension College online A-level in Art History.
The Arts Society
In May 2017, Art History in Schools received an Arts Society Grant to deliver our Explore Art History programme.
