Art Fund Prize longlist
We would like to congratulate two of our UK partner museums for making it onto the ArtFund Prize longlist. There are 10 museums in the running to win the £100,000 Art Fund Prize for 2012, including M Shed, Bristol and Riverside Museum, Glasgow.
A single award of £100,000 is presented to a museum or gallery whose entry, in the opinion of the judges, best meets the Prize criteria through a project completed or mainly undertaken in the previous calendar year. The purpose of The Art Fund Prize for museums and galleries is to recognise and stimulate originality and excellence in museums and galleries in the UK, and increase public appreciation and enjoyment of all they have to offer.
