‘It is so important that all children get to experience art and have the opportunity to express themselves creatively. With the focus in schools being on more academic subjects it is wonderful that The Hepworth Wakefield has established this programme to help teachers incorporate creativity across the curriculum and that is why I was delighted to take part ’  Linder Sterling

ABOUT SCHOOL PRINTS
In 2018 The Hepworth Wakefield launched School Prints – an 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.  Artists Sir Michael Craig-Martin, Linder Sterling and Laure Prouvost have generously produced prints for the 2020 edition. All profits raised by the sales of these prints will fund a full engagement programme with the participating schools.
Towards the end of World War II, the School Prints projects was established by Brenda Rawnsley and her husband Derek. Their aim was to bring contemporary art to young children by placing it in schools with an aim to inspire. British artists such as Henry Moore, John Tunnard and L S Lowry all were initially commissioned to produce one lithograph each.
