‘Anna Liber Lewis: Young Contemporary Talent from The Ingram Collection’

From 1 December 2018 – 6 January 2019 a new exhibition will be on display at The Lightbox gallery and museum. This exhibition is part of a series of solo shows from the artists represented in ‘Young Contemporary Talent’, a fast-growing element of The Ingram Collection. In recent years, The Ingram Collection has been supporting young artistic talent by acquiring the work of artists graduating from UK art schools. Several of the artists represented, such as Haroon Mirza, Suki Chan and Alexander Hoda, have already gained international reputations. The Ingram Collection’s annual Purchase Prize was established in 2016, and is open to artists who have graduated from a UK art school within the last three years. The prize exists to celebrate and support the work of young artists at the outset of their careers, and this exhibition will showcase the work of one of last year’s winners, Anna Liber Lewis.
