Football Art Prize invited artists to celebrate art and football.

Tuesday, 26th April 2022 - Sunday, 26th June 2022

The competition received entries from artists living in the UK, Europe, and all around the world.

The submissions were reviewed by a selection panel made out of personalities from the worlds of art and football: former England footballers David James MBE and Gordon Taylor OBE, art critic Sacha Craddock, Turner Prize winning artist Mark Wallinger, and curators Jo Cunningham, Mark Doyle and Kirstie Hamilton.

From the riches and idolatry of the upper echelons of the sport, to the muddy grit of grassroots clubs, the works to be found at The Football Art Prize show how football has come to reflect the entirety of the human experience. Visual tales of glory and defeat live alongside deeply personal pieces and recognisable scenes of wintery night matches and foggy fields.

The exhibition is open and free to visit at Touchstones Rochdale until 26 June 2022. It will then tour to The Millennium Gallery, Sheffield from July and Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens from Novembe
