About us

Who we are

The PCF is a respected and modernising arts charity with a national and global reach. Its charitable mission is to transform access to the UK’s publicly owned art, much of which is not on display, for enjoyment, learning and research. Its priorities lie in mapping art collections, encouraging public engagement with them and improving knowledge of these collections. Your Paintings is the PCF's flagship website showing the nation’s entire oil painting collection in public ownership, photographed by the PCF over a ten year period. Working closely with collections up and down the country, PCF completed the digitisation programme in late 2012, by which point it had recorded over 210,000 paintings from over 3,000 collection venues. The website www.bbc.co.uk/yourpaintings was built in partnership with the BBC. Other initiatives include Your Paintings Tagger, Art Detective and Masterpieces in Schools. Future plans for the PCF involve replacing Your Paintings with Your Art, a new and improved version of the website, which will constitute a unique and powerful digital showcase of art in the UK for audiences across the world, and will feature the UK’s collection of sculpture alongside the paintings already shown.
