The Private Viewing for the 2010 Art Prize was a great success. A large crowd attended including not only a large section of the Liverpool art world from young studio artists to the heads of the major North West galleries but also local business leaders and politicians.

It was a warm sunny evening, a great atmosphere and of course excellent art.
The exhibition continues until Saturday 10 July 2010, the Awards are announced on 30 June.

Here are some lovely photographs of the artists with their works taken by McCoy Wynne.

The exhibition and prizes acknowledge the outstanding achievements of the artists and their contribution to contemporary art within Liverpool, as well as further afield.

It aims to promote national awareness and discussion of contemporary art in the city and to support individual artists in developing their practices. It is an annual exhibition and award for artists from or based in the Liverpool City Region.

Prize has attracted sponsors from the local business community. Now in its third year the exhibition will take place at METAL at Edge Hill Station and is now a firmly established part of Liverpool’s annual visual art diary.
