Turner Contemporary is the new art gallery for Margate, Kent, which opened in April 2011 following a £17 million development. Designed by acclaimed architect David Chipperfield, it has already attracted nearly 400,000 visitors. The gallery presents free temporary exhibitions, activities and an ambitious educational programme as well as priding itself on developing a local audience.

Victoria Pomery, Director of Turner Contemporary said: “I am absolutely thrilled that Turner Contemporary has been long listed for the 2012 Art Fund Prize.  We’ve had an amazing first year with many thousands of visitors enjoying the gallery, programme and Margate. Our current highly acclaimed Turner exhibition opened 2012 with a bang and the great news today continues to demonstrate what an impact Turner Contemporary is having.  We are delighted.”
