John Moores Painting Prize 2018

The John Moores exhibition is held in partnership with the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition Trust, and although the appearance of each exhibition changes, the principles remain constant: to support artists and to bring to Liverpool the best contemporary painting from across the UK.

John Moores Painting Prize China launched in August 2010. Applications were received from across China and 28 artists were selected for the inaugural exhibition.

In 2011 Sir Peter Blake became the first Patron of the art prize. Find out more about his connection to the prize and watch a video of the artist in his studio.
