Exhibition: The John Ruskin Prize exhibition

The John Ruskin Prize is a multidisciplinary art prize founded on the ideas of the radical 19th-century polymath John Ruskin, with a reputation for supporting and promoting artists, designers, and makers whose work defies easy categorisation.

This year marks the sixth edition, and it is accessible to all artists, designers, and craftsmen of all nations, aged 18 and up.

Selected from over 4,000 entries, the final shortlist of 78 pieces from 68 artists, makers and innovators have been given a platform for the unseen to be seen and the unspoken to be heard. The shortlist of The 6th John Ruskin Prize, which called for artists to explore the theme, ‘Seeing the Unseen, Hearing the Unspoken’ has attracted a record number of submissions from fine artists, makers and craftspeople from across the globe.

The shortlist exhibition will be exhibited at Trinity Buoy Wharf from 1 to 17 February 2024 and is free and open to all.
