team in the gallery. It brings in a very broad audience due to the visual diversity of what’s on offer. It’s also so important for us to be able to give back to the art world as a business. We meet artists almost every day who are trying to find their way into the art world and it’s so difficult for an aspiring artist even to think of where to go to find representation. The artists fortunate enough to be
selected through IN:SIGHT are overwhelmed to see their work beautifully framed and sitting alongside some of the greats like Dali and Picasso. The People’s Choice award also gives the public a chance to get involved and express their opinion.” Castle Galleries have a total of 35 retail galleries across the UK and the volume of walk-in
enquiries from aspiring artists is phenomenal; IN:SIGHT allows us to channel the inspiring work we see from these artists. We are excited by the potential that the project has not only to source fresh talent for Washington Green and Castle Galleries, but to also engage more widely with the community and arts institutions nationally.
