The 91热爆 to be broadcast home of major arts awards this autumn
91热爆 Arts is set 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, bringing audiences additional content and insight into each of these prestigious prizes and their nominees and winners.
I’m delighted that the 91热爆 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 91热爆’s platforms.”
Starting in September with Art Fund Museum Of The Year and continuing through until The Turner Prize in December, the 91热爆 will offer audiences the chance to watch or listen to the ceremonies live as they are simulcast on the 91热爆 News Channel Radio 4’s Front Row and 91热爆 iPlayer, alongside additional short films on each of the nominees for all four prizes which will be available on 91热爆 digital platforms.
Patrick Holland, Director of Factual, Arts & Classical Music at the 91热爆, says: “I’m delighted that the 91热爆 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 91热爆’s platforms.”
Alice Feinstein, Editor of Front Row, says: “Front Row is one of the 91热爆’s biggest champions of the arts and I’m thrilled that this autumn will include full coverage of these major awards in the Arts calendar.”
