About Art History Link-Up
Fewer than 1% of state schools offer History of Art A level yet the creative industries provided 2.4 million jobs and generated over £126 billion in 2022. We believe that art history shouldn’t belong to just the handful of people who currently have the opportunity to study it, but that every young person, regardless of background, should be able to enjoy and benefit from our rich visual culture
AHLU is a registered charity offering free courses for state students since 2016. Prior to the pandemic our classes were based at the National Gallery and the Wallace Collection. We moved our classes online as a result of the pandemic with great success. Since September 2022 we have been offering hybrid courses at the Courtauld Institute, Somerset House.
AHLU has taught art history to over 500 students from over 300 schools across the UK. Our alumni are now studying art history at Russell Group universities across the UK, including the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and the Courtauld Institute.
Since 2022 we’ve been piloting, developing and expanding courses for younger secondary age students, in London and beyond. In 2024 onwards, we are piloting Higher Project Qualification (HPQ) courses, a student-directed qualification equivalent to up to half a GCSE, in collaboration with the Courtauld, Waddesdon Manor, and schools and centres in and outside London. We are working with an external evaluation consultant to ensure we record best practice and outcomes in our work.
We are working with communications consultant, Nadine Thompson, to deliver our ‘art history for everyone’ communications strategy and media campaign as we move towards our tenth anniversary in 2027.
