John Moores Painting Prize Trust
The John Moores Painting Prize Trust acts as the guardian of the principles of the John Moores Painting Prize, in both China and the UK.
The John Moores Painting Prize launched in 1957 as the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery, to create an opportunity for artists to be judged solely on the merits of their painting.
