We're delighted to announce the programme for the Contemporary Portrait Practices seminar to be held on Tuesday 23 November. This seminar examines the contemporary state of portraiture in Britain from a range of angles, including a contextual introduction from Dr. Grant Pooke, author of Contemporary British Art: An Introduction (Routledge, 2010), and contributions from three practising artists - Benjamin Sullivan, Gemma Anderson and Alastair Adams PRP (in conversation with his sitter Marc Crank) - and Rosie Broadley of the National Portrait Gallery. This event will be of interest to curatorial and learning colleagues in museums and galleries, artists and those commissioning or purchasing portraits, and academics and students engaged in this field. Please forward this link to any of your contacts who might be interested in the seminar. The seminar takes place at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, and the programme will allow time for delegates to visit some of the artistic projects comprising the Liverpool Biennial <http://www.biennial.com/> , which closes on 28 November.
