COMPANY/PUBLICATION: ART UK

Eliza Goodpasture, Commissioning Editor at Art UK, is looking for pitches:

I'm now a commissioning editor at Art UK. I'm commissioning stories about drawings. Pitch me at eliza.goodpasture [at] artuk [dot] org

I'd love to hear from anyone with ideas for stories, especially:

• stories about artists who primarily worked on paper
• themed features that bring together different artists and works

This work is funded by the Bridget Riley Art Foundation and all authors are paid £250 per story.

You can see all the drawings currently in the Art UK database here (this is growing all the time): https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/view_as/grid/search/2024--work_type:drawing/page/54
