Ben Uri gallery and museum: physical and online

Using Art Differently makes Ben Uri Distinctive within the British museum sector.

Ben Uri surpasses ethnic, cultural and religious obstacles to engagement within the arts sector, addresses contemporary and historical issues of identity and migration, and celebrates, researches and records the richly diverse Jewish and immigrant contribution to the British visual arts since 1900.

Presenting and sharing art differently, we encourage people to explore their own and their community’s identity and creativity. We engage and deliver this outcome through three distinctive and fully interlinked divisions.

B Research including collections, exhibitions and publications

B Arts and Mental Health focusing on the growing 70+ demographic

B Digital engagements to share Ben Uri with an exponentially growing global audience buru.org.uk

Ben Uri Research Unit has created the country’s first digital resource that comprehensively records the Jewish and immigrant communities contribution to the visual arts in Britain since 1900. This is a core, long term, ongoing project and commitment.

Some 650 profiles of eminent and, in many cases, neglected or forgotten individuals from 104 different countries of birth have been published on buru.org.uk.

As of January 2024 we forecast over 1,000 profiles and by January 2025 we forecast at least 1,500 profiles creating the largest specialist digital educational resource accessible for free online.

We believe the final quantum of relevant profiles will exceed 3,000.

Users who benefit from using this important resource include students, teachers, lecturers, artist families, gallerists, auction houses, researchers, journalists and social inclusion strategists.

Ben Uri Arts and Health Institute represents a core commitment to developing researched and evaluated art interventions for older people in care settings and in the community, with a particular focus on anyone living in social isolation or with dementia. The Ben Uri collection is at the heart of this creative outreach programme. Interpreting high-quality art into replicable, cost-effective art discussion and art making sessions, with an accompanying training programme for carers, in turn enables the gallery to reach a broader, more diverse audience and play an important role in maintaining cognisant awareness.

This decade long objective is to identify through research and evaluation why and what are the elements of an art work that trigger the most engagement and responses from those who live in social isolation and/or with dementia, and how best in terms of cost and effectiveness to disseminate such programmes with the 70+ demographics, of which 95% live in their own homes or with family.

We have already published some 100 different evaluated programmes online at benuri.org/artsandhealth , as well as ‘how to’ training films and toolkits. We have established that the most cost-effective means of engaging the growing 70+ demographics, currently over 7 million in the UK, and forecast to double in quantum and percentage of population, is through the digital format. This is our principle objective.

Ben Uri is greatly proud to have been invited to sit alongside many of the world’s finest art collections within the World Art Foundations.

The Foundations include The Henry Moore Foundation, The Getty, The Picasso, The Guggenheim, The Warhol, The Dali, The Dubuffet, The Cragg, The Giacometti, and The Maeght, amongst 200 others.
