The Royal Standard is a Liverpool-based artist-led studio complex, gallery and charity. It fosters opportunities for artists by hosting free exhibitions, providing affordable studios and wider connections to regional and national arts organisations. As well as supporting artistic development, it provides a free programme of workshops and events open to the public.

Studio Show was an exhibition which united the respective practices of 22 studio members, and centred around the theme of reassessment; reflection, looking back to move forward. The Royal Standard now presents this capsule version of Studio Show, exclusively at John Lewis & Partners Liverpool from Monday 9 December until Friday 13 December.

The exhibition represents aspects of the diverse talent emerging from Liverpool’s independent arts community. Visitors can get a taste of some of the work available at The Royal Standard’s Christmas Party & Auction on the 14 December. All are welcome to attend this free event and find an affordable original artwork to give as unique present to family and friends.
