At InSEA, we believe that art transforms people’s lives.
Gifts in Wills are an important and crucial source of funding, providing lasting support which will help to safeguard InSEA’s ability to enrich more people’s lives now and in the future. Remember InSEA in your will
There are many ways you can make a gift which is both simple and efficient:
Residuary: the amount left over after all other costs, for example, funeral expenses, have been deducted
Pecuniary: a fixed sum of money
Specific: a gift of a particular named item, for example, a painting, building or land
Reversionary: a gift to a loved one for use during his or her lifetime which can then be passed onto a specified charity after this time
Leaving a gift in your will is an effective lasting contribution without any immediate outlay. Legacies left to charities are free from inheritance tax, which means a legacy could result in your tax bill being reduced.
If you have already made a will, you can add an amendment, known as a codicil, which InSEA can provide for you. We do recommend that you consult with your legal advisor when deciding upon making a legacy.
By making a gift to InSEA, you are recognising the work that we do and the difference we make to people’s lives. No gift is too large or too small. Whatever the size, your gift can and will make a difference.
TALK TO US
Leaving a gift in your will is an important decision to make.
If you would like to find out more, or have an informal chat please contact the Treasurer, Secretary or President via the CONTACT US page.
Your gift will be treated with confidentiality and with sensitivity.
We hope to hear from you soon.

The first of a series of webinars as the InSEA European Regional Council members and invited guest art teachers reflect on the challenges facing art and design education across Europe. The long term and far reaching effects of the pandemic are only just starting to unfold as schools start to return. We would argue we need new approaches to address some of the inequalities appearing. InSEA and the ERC would like to bring art teachers together to ensure that they can play a leading and pivotal role in pushing for change. This is a moment where we must come together to ensure that art teachers are supported in dealing with change, and offer approaches to challenge established ways of working, thinking and being in schools.

The pandemic has affected the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) sector in multiple ways as it shifted its exhibition and education models to provide access to knowledge in different ways. The sector has worked tirelessly to fulfill their fundamental role in society as they faced multiple challenges to serve their communities during the pandemic. Many galleries and museums across the world remain in a precarious place as they continue to create meaningful and authentic learning experiences; stay close to their audiences and make it possible to reach new community needs. We invite you to join us with Wafa Gabsi, CEO Archivart, Tunis, Tunisia and Dr David Sequeira Director, Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery, Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, Australia in this 1-hour InSEA Connect Webinar to discuss the role and place of galleries and museums in rethinking cultural mediation practices and in promoting artists and art education in the Covid-era. Conversation in English moderated by Kathryn Coleman, InSEA world councilor for South East Asia & the Pacific and Sirine Abdelhedi, InSEA world councilor for Africa and Middle East.

Connecting ways of thinking: Intersections of Art and Science to consider inclusion. Creativity connects everyone and there have been shifts in educators’ understanding of where imagination is encouraged. Art, with its opportunities for boundless imagination, and science, with its methodological rigour, as separate disciplines are no longer the case. Ways of knowing and thinking are increasingly informed by the role of affective insight and imagination. Both the arts and sciences can unite to explore and spark curiosity across a range of global issues and future thinking. In this webinar will hear from two presenters that are crossing these boundaries. In this webinar will hear from two presenters that are crossing these boundaries. Presentation 1: Tilly Boleyn, Head of Curatorial at the Science Gallery Melbourne https://sciencegallery.org/ will talk about what happens when you connect and involve young people in the creation of a gallery. She will take you behind the curtain into the inclusive curatorial practice that connects with young people, scientists, artists and beyond to spark new ideas through the collision of science and art. Illustrated by the development of the ‘Break the Binaries” exhibition, which presents a playful and kaleidoscopic view of genders, identity and their relationship with science and technology, creativity, culture, race and sexuality. Presenter2: Diego S. Maranan is a transdisciplinary researcher, artist, and designer. He is the dean of the Faculty of Information and Communication Studies at the University of the Philippines Open University and co-founder of Space Ecologies Art and Design (SEADS) https://seads.network/ . Using recent artscience research and creative projects he was involved in, he shall argue that despite—or indeed because—of the challenges confronting the Global South, research, practice, and education on the intersections of the arts and the sciences are more necessary than ever.
The two South-East Asian artists featured connect to our diverse world.
Artists are powerful in addressing discrimination and exclusion by considering the intricacies, values and beliefs of communities, including the political, religious, environmental, economic and social dimensions.
This webinar presents two contemporary South-East Asian Artists. The themes they explore resonate globally and their artworks carry their unique cultural aesthetic. Artist Case Studies will be useful to all art educators
Anagard is an Indonesian stencil artist from Jakarta. He is world-renowned. His work often incorporates traditional motifs and explores a variety of thematic approaches. He is very active, both in his home country and abroad.
Doktor Karayom is from Manila. He is a graphic artist with a signature of red-and-white paintings and sculptures. He is also a poet, musician, film and animation and performance artist. His work features Philippine folklore, religion, history and popular culture.
The term ‘drawing’ could be interpreted in various ways and from different perspectives, even in art and art education. The webinar includes artists, art educators and students as presenters. They will talk about their stories of drawing from Asian perspectives. For example, ‘How to draw without eyes? Modern Chinese calligraphy artistic System of Tsan-Chen Liao’ by Hsin-Yi Chao and Tsan-Chen. We hope that these stories of drawing make some common issues in-between different disciplines visible and help us to challenge and construct sustainable and inclusive art education in Asia and beyond.

This was the final webinar of our #InSEA@70 series, celebrating seventy years as the official UNESCO organisation for visual art education. It is only right that we featured one of our founders, Sir Herbert Read. Our session title, The University of Leeds and the Herbert Read Connections, aimed to explore the past, present and future in art education through the case study of the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds. In terms of the past, established in 1949 as the Department of Fine Art, Leeds led the way as an English university offering degrees in fine art practice. Under the auspices of the first appointed Professor of Fine Art, Maurice de Sausmarez, and his deep connection to Herbert Read, the Department led the way in thinking about the practice and theory of art and art education. In terms of the present, they have recently launched an incredible new resource in our University Special Collections to allow access to our rich archive collections from this period - https://library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections/collection/3235 - that includes letters where Read and de Sausmarez speak about the importance of art education. And the School leads on an initiative to support art teachers working today to feel valued and confident in their classrooms, and to be able to teach a diversity of art histories - atcuk.org. Since 2017 they have also been building and supporting a network of art and art history teachers across the UK, which now has over 200 members representing over 30,000 pupils a week. We also run a PG Certificate programme that allows teachers to research and reflect on their practice. In terms of the future, Professor Abigail Harrison Moore (Professor of Art History and Museum Studies) and graduates Sue Gibbons and Amanda Davies from the PG Cert Programme will explore their teacher's research projects and the impact their learning has and will have on how we understand, deliver and value art education.
