The Collection, which was formed in 1946 , includes works by major British artists of the Twentieth Century and continues to acquire innovative and significant work by emerging artists today. It maintains a policy of adventurous and timely acquisitions, responding rapidly to developments in artistic practice. The collection is managed by a Curator while purchases are advised by a panel of artists and experts whose membership lasts for twelve months. The Arts Council Collection is managed by the Hayward Gallery , South Bank Centre on behalf of Arts Council England and is based at the Hayward in London and at Longside , Yorkshire Sculpture Park . As a collection ‘without walls’, it has no permanent gallery; however, changing displays of sculpture, video and installations from the Arts Council Collection are regularly on view at Longside Gallery . Survey exhibitions from the Collection have been held at the Hayward Gallery entitled 'British Art 1940-80' and 'How to Improve the World: 60 Years of British Art'. EXTERNAL LINKS
