Northern British Paintings


by David Tatham

The Yearly Northern British Art Exhibition In Harrogate. During the spring of 2008, the first Northern Art Show was held in the Harrogate International Centre, North Yorkshire. This superb facility is the third largest of its kind in England. The centre is at present undergoing a 435 million pound refurbishment but has become the home to an annual event celebrating the Northern British Art Show.

A few of these annual art exhibitions have been running in cities throughout the North Yorkshire area for several years. Exhibitions have always been selected that have some historical interest and provide an wonderful viewing platform for the display of fine modern and contemporary art. The many shows have built up a reputation amongst art dealers and artists as events well worth attending.

These exhibitions have become famous for bringing together an eclectic catalogue, featuring both new and well established artists. Gallery owners, as well as the new and mature collectors flock to these shows, to view the numerous latest and sought after artists latest paintings. Any recent admirers would find these exhibitions excellent for finding cheap works of art to add to their growing collection.

These shows are a great launch pad for the recent and ambitious painters. They attract the gallery owners and collectors as well as the general public. They give an excellent opportunity to become familiar with new artists and their techniques. As well as providing the artist with some feedback on their own art.The new and budding artists may well be able to establish some long term relationships with collectors who like their work. Or if they are really lucky they may be given commissions to do some further work for a customer.

But what the mature and young painters are praying for is that they can sell some of their artworks that are on display.Perhaps some of the famous British painters such as Russell Flint or perhaps Bernard Taylor originals are not on offer. But a varied selection of their prints, and those from other famous British artists and possible some internationally renowned artists, will be available.

These shows attract visitors and collectors from all over the world. So they bring money to the area and plough money into the local businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and car hires and so on. The artists are recognised by the town people and business people as being a good revenue.At the end of the day the success of a show is based on the sales of paintings. The more a specialized painter sells, the better off they are financially.

But they also gain in reputation from the sale of their work and it is impossible to value that.The organisation and planning that has to go into these exhibitions is extensive. Almost as soon as one annual exhibition is at an end, the planning for the next one starts. Particular attention has to be given to the timing of the events to ensure they do not interfere with another show in the country or any large event anywhere in the country that will diminish the number of potential visitors to a Northern British art show.
