Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the jury of the cancelled 2020 Turner Prize selected 10 artists to receive a bursary. The artists were chosen for their significant contributions to new developments in British contemporary art.
'Following a lively and rigorous virtual debate, the jury has settled on a list of ten fantastic artists who reflect the exceptional talent found in contemporary British art. From ceramics to film, performance to photography, they represent the many exciting and interdisciplinary ways that artists work today. These bursaries represent a vote of confidence in that work and offer some much-deserved support in challenging times.' – Alex Farquharson, Director of Tate Britain
