Business and Culture in Liverpool
Published: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:02:07
The Prime Minister paid a visit to Liverpool last week to speak to regional business leaders and take in some of the city’s cultural landmarks as it celebrates being European Capital of Culture 2008.
Mr Brown began his visit by giving opening remarks at the Northwest Economic Conference where he told guests that the region was well placed to be one of the “real gainers in the future” from the benefits of economic globalisation.
Later he took a look around St George’s Hall and The Walker Art Gallery. One of the gallery’s major displays is the Liverpool Cityscape painting [above] by artist Ben Johnson, just one of a wide range of art works commissioned by the city as part of the cultural festival.
