Liverpool Art Prize Preview

Cast your vote, your artists need you at this year's Liverpool Art Prize, premiering at METAL tonight.

Always worth a look - and this year one of its strongest fields ever, in our opinion - the Liverpool Art Prize has its viewing tonight.

The prize, set up by Art In Liverpool’s indefatigable Ian and Minako Jackson, is an annual celebration, exhibition and duke-out for fine artists based or born in the Liverpool City Region. Once again, the exhibition of shortlisted candidates takes place at Metal, the Edge Hill station.

Go take a look, and cast your vote for the People’s Prize too: sadly, there’s no AV option. Maybe next yeah, eh? We’d hate for one of the artists to get less than 50% of the mandate.

SevenStreets is all for making our artists work harder to win our votes, yeah?

Liverpool For Japan

Take a trip to the CUC next week, and you'll be sending your support half way across the globe, to help those affected by the Japan earthquake and tsunami. You'll have an amazing day out, too.

Good Day Suunshine

Suuns bring their atmospheric loops, stoner-rock grooves and glitchy beats to Mojo to show us just why we should be grateful Montreal's still sending its Atlantic storm fronts westwards. Recommended.

King For A Day

Southport's very own Michael Weston King brings his brand new record to the Philharmonic this royal wedding weekend.
