Turner prize cancelled and chosen artists to get £10k bursaries

Tate Britain says timetable to prepare autumn exhibition not achievable during pandemic

Organisers of the Turner prize have cancelled this year’s edition and will instead award 10 bursaries of £10,000 to deserving artists.

In a normal year, judges would this month have announced a shortlist for the prize, inviting those artists to make work for an exhibition opening in the autumn. The £25,000 winner would have been revealed in December.
