Documenting an Art Fund Event Across Liverpool’s Museums and Galleries

Peter Harkness at Walker Art gallery Liverpool

Art Fund is the UK’s national charity supporting museums and galleries. For over 120 years grants have helped them to acquire, commission and display great works of art, fund curatorial training and research, and reach new communities and audiences across the UK. Their Art Partners are a group of patrons who share our passion for museums and galleries, providing annual support that makes our work possible. I was asked to document a patron’s event in Liverpool that gave exclusive insights into their work and the museums they support. The tour took us to the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool Library, FACT and the Bluecoat and was led by Liverpool Biennial CEO Sam Lackey, who I was delighted to meet again having known her for her great work in her previous role as Head of Collections and Exhibitions at the Whitworth in Manchester.
