Two decades on from the Tate’s opening in Liverpool, the economy has continued to recover and has experienced growth rates higher than the national average. Inner-city development projects have brought both government support and funding to the city. Liverpool now has more museums and art galleries than any other city in the country.
Tate continues to showcase work as part of the Biennial, an acclaimed exhibition showing significant new works by international artists commissioned specially for the City of Liverpool. The Gallery also continues to encourage a younger audience through its active education programme through talks, discussions and participation. Improvements have been made to the building to support the increased demand on visitors and corporate facilities.
Tate collaborates with a range of educational and cultural partners to ensure the Gallery remains innovative and influential in the presentation of its collection. Tate hosted the Turner Prize in 2007, the exhibition featured the work of four shortlisted British artists. The Turner Prize was a suitable curtain raiser for Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008.
