In
2001 Abbot Hall was selected as one of five galleries in Britain
to join a three-year pilot scheme in collaboration with Tate. The
successful partnership was extended for a further two years and
between them the five partner galleries received a further £440,000
from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
This
important partnership greatly enhanced the activities of the Lakeland
Arts Trust and has been of great benefit to both visitors and staff,
giving increased access to the nation's collections of British and
Modern Art. The curator at Abbot Hall continues to work with Tate
on securing loans for its exhibition programme as well as loaning
its own works to Tate.
