Tate Liverpool’s redevelopment has received a multimillion funding grant.
A £12 million contribution to the gallery’s planned reopening is set to come from the Department for Culture, Media and Sports’ Public Bodies Infrastructure Fund.
Further donations have been received from the Garfield Weston Foundation and The Ross Warburton Charitable Trust as Tate aims to reopen its doors in 2027.
Culture secretary Lisa Nandy claimed the gallery, which has been shut for two years due to funding issues, will enable it to ‘continue to flourish for future generations’
Tate Liverpool director Helen Legg, said: “We’re grateful to the government for this investment and for their vote of confidence as we realise this once-in-a-generation renewal of Tate Liverpool.
“I am also thankful for the support of the trusts, foundations and private donors whose investment will ensure we serve the needs of artists and audiences, now and into the future.
“The bold transformation of Tate Liverpool will be invaluable to the region’s visitor economy, a catalyst for the next era of waterfront redevelopment, and an opportunity for our communities to enjoy world-class art and culture in the heart of Liverpool.”
