Space for Learning: A Handbook for Education Spaces in Museums, Heritage Sites and Discovery Centres (2004)
This publication was the result of a collaborative research project involving a partnership between key organisations concerned with education in the arts, cultural, environmental and heritage sectors. The partners were: the Arts Councils of England, Northern Ireland and Scotland; the Clore Duffield Foundation; the Commission for Architecture & the Built Environment; the Design Commission for Wales and MLA; The Department of Culture Media and Sport; the Department of Education & Skills; the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The Handbook aims to inform, educate, advise and support those wishing to create new education spaces, or those working to refurbish or refresh existing spaces, whatever their scale.

State of the Art
Over five years, from 2000 to 2004, the Artworks Awards rewarded exciting teaching in art & design, in which artists and works of art were the inspiration for teachers and young people aged up to 18. From 2001-2005, a new piece of research into art education was published each year. Five research publications are available: £2.68 (2001); The Big Sink (2002); Space for Art (2003); State of the Art (2004) and How Old Do You Have To Be To Be An Artist? (2005).
