Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art

The Contemporary Art Society is a national charity that encourages an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art in the UK. With the help of our supporters, we raise funds to purchase works of contemporary art, which we give to museums and public galleries where they are enjoyed by a national audience. Since 1910 we have donated over 8,000 works to museums and public galleries - from Bacon, Freud, Hepworth and Moore in their day through to the influential artists of our own times - championing new talent, supporting curators, and encouraging philanthropy and collecting in the UK. Our HQ at 59 Central Street in London hosts a lively programme of talks, events and displays, showcasing the work that we do with artists and museums all over the country.

A commercial gallery specializing in contemporary works by young and emerging artists.
