The John Moores’ Painting Prize was set up in 1957 and was one of Britain’s first contemporary art prizes.  It was named after its original sponsor, Sir John Moores, founder of the Littlewoods business empire.

The aims of the exhibition were “to give Merseyside the chance to see an exhibition of painting and sculpture embracing the best and most vital work done today and throughout the country” and to encourage contemporary artists, particularly the young and progressive.

We will meet in the cafe at the Walker Art Gallery at  2.30 pm.
