In its 68th year, the biennial John Moores Painting Prize continues to capture the best of British painting. The 71 paintings on display were selected anonymously from over 3000 submissions, bringing together work by established and emerging artists to reflect the vibrancy and continued relevance of painting today.
Join Charlotte Keenan McDonald, Head of the Walker Art Gallery and chair of the John Moores Painting Prize jury, to hear behind-the-scenes insights into the selection process, learn more about selected works from this year’s Prize and explore how this year’s cohort reflect the evolving landscape of contemporary British painting.
Folding stools are available on request for visitors who are unable to stand for an extended period of time. The gallery is wheelchair accessible with a lift from ground to first floor galleries. We recommend this event for ages 16+ but everyone is welcome.
Tickets cost £7
