£100,000 arts prize to boost museums

Howard Lake | 16 September 2002 | News

The Gulbenkian Foundation has announced a major new arts prize to benefit museums and galleries.

The prize is open to all UK galleries and is intended to recognise and reward “the most innovative and inspiring idea – an exhibition, new gallery, public programme or important new initiative – developed during 2002”.

Entries will need to “have a genuine and demonstrable effect on public perceptions of museums and galleries, and enhance appreciation of their role”.

The prize money comes from the Gulbenkian Foundation together with arts philanthropist Christopher Ondaatje and the government group Resource.
