The Blake Prize is a prestigious national award celebrating contemporary art that fearlessly explores spirituality, faith and the big questions of human existence.
 
Together with traditional mediums such as painting and sculpture, the Blake Prize also embraces new and experimental forms of video, sound, installation, photography and digital media to explore complex ideas.
 
Liverpool Powerhouse (formerly Casula Powerhouse) has been home to the Blake Prize since 2016. We are ideally positioned within a community of people from over 150 birthplaces, speaking more than 140 languages, and representing an equally diverse range of faith backgrounds.
