1 PRIZE OFFERING
This prestigious competition for contemporary artists returns to Tate Liverpool after 15 years. Established in 1984, the Turner Prize is sometimes controversial, often provocative and always interesting. The £25,000 prize is awarded to a British artist for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work. This year’s finalists are Heather Phillipson, Ingrid Pollard, Veronica Ryan and Sin Wai Kin. Tate Liverpool was the first gallery outside London to host The Turner Prize in 2007 when it helped launch the city’s year as European Capital of Culture. Exhibiting at the Tate Liverpool (tate.org.uk) until March 19.
Everything from the Ferry Cross the Mersey to the Magical Mystery Tour. It’s not all about the Beatles and ’60s pop though – museums encompass everything from art to slavery. Liverpool hosts Eurovision this year too! Visitliverpool.com.
