The Annual Northern English Art Show 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 centre to an annual event celebrating the Northern British Art Exhibition.
A number of these annual art shows have been running in cities throughout the North Yorkshire area for several years.
Venues have always been chosen that have some historical interest and provide an excellent viewing platform for the display of fine modern and contemporary art.
The many exhibitions have built up a reputation amongst art dealers and artists as events well worth attending.
These exhibitions have become well known for bringing together an eclectic catalogue, featuring both new and well established artists.
Gallery owners, as well as the new and experienced collectors flock to these exhibitions, to view the numerous new and desired artists most recent works.
Any new admirers would find these shows wonderful for finding very reasonably priced paintings to add to their growing collection.
These exhibitions are a great launch pad for the new and ambitious painters.
They attract the gallery owners and collectors as well as the general public.
They provide an excellent opportunity to become familiar with new artists and their ideas.
As well as providing the exhibitor with some reaction on their own art.
The new and upcoming artists may well be able to establish some long term relationships with collectors who admire their work.
Or if they are fortunate the artists may be given commissions to do some further work for a customer.
But what the mature and new painters are hoping for is that they can trade some of their artworks that are on display.
Perhaps some of the very well known 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 European painters and possible some internationally renowned artists, will be available.
These shows attract visitors and art lovers from all over the world.
So they bring economic benefits to the area and put 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 welcome source of income.
At the end of the day the success of a show is judged on the sales of paintings.
The more a specialized artist sells, the better off they are financially.
But they also earn in reputation from the sale of their work and it is impossible to value that.
The organisation and revision that has to go into these events is enormous.
Almost as soon as one yearly exhibition finishes, the planning for the next show starts.
Particular attention has to be given to the scheduling of the events to make sure they do not clash with another exhibition in Britain or any major show anywhere in the country that will diminish the number of possible visitors to a Northern British art exhibition.
