BBC Arts is to share all the news of four major arts awards this autumn: Art Fund Museum Of The Year, The Turner Prize, the Royal Institute Of British Architect’s (RIBA) Stirling Prize and The Booker Prize.
BBC Arts started earlier this month with Art Fund Museum Of The Year (won by Colchester’s FirstSite) and will continue through until The Turner Prize in December. Audiences will have the chance to watch or listen to the ceremonies live as they are simulcast on the BBC News Channel Radio 4’s Front Row and BBC iPlayer, alongside additional short films on each of the nominees for all four prizes which will be available on BBC digital platforms.
Patrick Holland, Director of Factual, Arts & Classical Music at the BBC, said:
“I’m delighted that the BBC will once again be bringing these major arts awards to audiences this year. Although Covid means ceremonies have had to adapt, we are wholly committed to working with the Booker Prize, Art Fund (Museum Of The Year), Turner Prize and RIBA (Stirling Prize) teams to share these celebrations of excellence in the arts using the breadth of the BBC’s platforms.”
The prizes:
