School Prints revives a groundbreaking scheme set up in the 1940s to supply original, high-quality contemporary art to primary schools.
In 2018 The Hepworth Wakefield launched the ambitious five-year project to inspire every primary school child in Wakefield District through contemporary art. Each year, the participating schools are gifted a set of limited edition prints by leading contemporary artists for display in school and are supported with an in-depth engagement programme led by artists and creative practitioners to encourage creativity across the curriculum.
All profits raised by the sale of the prints will fund the engagement programme with the participating schools.
