Next Up: Liverpool Art Now

2008 comes to an end, but the cultural life in Liverpool continues. Why wouldn’t it? The city’s artistic community is incredibly vibrant and to celebrate this the Bluecoat shows off the depth of creative talent to be found locally in Next Up: Liverpool Art Now, a group exhibition showcasing over 35 artists currently living and working in Liverpool. Featuring painting, drawing, video, photography, sculpture, installation and animation, Next Up presents a diverse range of works by artists with established national and international careers alongside emerging artists who are developing their professional practice. Significantly Next Up does not propose to be an exhaustive survey of the local art scene, nor is it dictated by prize money or a curatorial theme. Rather the exhibition simply presents a timely selection of artists’ work that is engaging and accomplished, and maintain’s the Bluecoat’s strong tradition of commitment and support for local artists.
