JM Finn has reaffirmed its commitment to the arts and local communities by once again sponsoring The Big Art Show, the North’s largest contemporary art exhibition. Held at Queen Mary’s School in Thirsk, the event showcases over 750 original artworks from both established and emerging artists across Yorkshire and the North East.
This year, all proceeds from the show will benefit the Yorkshire Children’s Charity, supporting some of the region’s most vulnerable young people. Since its inception, The Big Art Show has raised over £350,000 for youth charities, making a tangible difference in the community. The event offers visitors the chance to browse and purchase a diverse range of art, from paintings and prints to sculptures and photographs, with prices ranging from £40 to £5,000—ensuring there is something for every budget.
Lucy Coutts, Investment Director and Head of the York Office said: “JM Finn are very proud to continue our sponsorship for the Big Art Show this year. We strive to offer our support for art initiatives in the Yorkshire region, having sponsored the show since 2014.”
This year’s event will be the biggest in its 30-year history and Rachel Bowron, chair of The Big Art Show said: “We are very excited by the calibre and breadth of this year’s artists and have extended our gallery space in order to display more artwork than ever before. With JM Finn’s continued support and the generosity of art lovers across the region, we hope that we can raise much needed funds for Yorkshire Children’s Charity and help transform the lives of disadvantaged children in our region.”
