Towner Eastbourne will host next year’s Turner Prize – part of a model in which the award and exhibition of shortlisted artists alternate between Tate Britain and public institutions outside of London.
This year’s prize will be held at Tate Liverpool. The winner will take the GBP£25,000 prize with GBP£10,000 awarded to the shortlisted artists – the 2022 list is comprised of Heather Phillipson, Ingrid Pollard, Veronica Ryan and Sin Wai Kin.
The award’s arrival in Sussex will mark the gallery’s centenary. The exhibition will be on view from September 2023 until January 2024. (The winner will be announced on 5 December 2023.)
Towner Eastbourne director Joe Hill said in a statement: ‘The event will not only allow current and new audiences to experience some of the very best in contemporary art in our brand new galleries, but it will also reignite the visitor economy in East Sussex, with events planned across the county as well as across our own town to coincide with the exhibition.’
