Turner Contemporary is a partner of Tate, and exchanges programmes, ideas and skills with the Plus Tate network of visual arts organisations across the UK. 

Plus Tate is a major new national initiative for the visual arts involving Tate and 18 of the UK’s most dynamic arts institutions. Joining together to exchange ideas, knowledge, skills and resources, as well as programmes and collections, the Plus Tatepartners, along with and facilitated by Tate, will broaden and deepen engagement in modern and contemporary art across the country.

The impact of the visual arts on cultural and socio-economic regeneration in the regions has been hugely significant in recent years. Building on the achievements of this sector requires imaginative new models of collaboration and entrepreneurial thinking.

Victoria Pomery, Director of Turner Contemporary, said: 
“We see the Plus Tate partnership as a huge support, acting as a platform through which we can share and exchange ideas and information with peer institutions and providing welcome access to Tate’s own expertise, experience and Collection.”

Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate said:
“The Plus Tate network is central to Tate’s vision. Working in partnership, collaborating closely with leading organisations that have high national and international profiles and strong links to their local communities, means we can support their further development and strengthen their hand by sharing with them Tate’s resources and Collection. At the same time, we can deepen our own experience by tapping into their particular expertise and inventiveness.”
