It provides Northern artists with an unparalleled platform to showcase their work and reach new audiences.

 

The 2023 New Light Prize Exhibition Tour which covers 5 galleries, visiting 4 counties and London, begins at the Williamson, with judging taking place just prior to the exhibition’s opening. A panel of industry experts comprising of Olivia Heron, Curator at the Whitworth Gallery, Manchester, Nan Perell, New York Collector and supporter of emerging British artists, Matthew Hall, Director of London gallery Panter & Hall, renowned figurative artist Mark Demsteader, and Director of New Light, Rebekah Tadd, will shortlist artworks for the £10,000 Valeria Sykes Award, judging Royal Academicians alongside emerging artists.

 

Williamson Curator Niall Hodson said:- “We are delighted to host and launch the New Light Prize Exhibition 2023/24. We want to be able to support the creative economy and the viability of artistic careers in the North West and beyond. It will provide economic benefit for the artists and opportunities to embrace new talent”.
