COMING SOON
As we approach the end of what has been one of the most historically significant years in recent memory, it is only natural that an air of reflection and contemplation settles upon us. Seeing the resilience and innovation demonstrated by arts organisations across the UK has been inspiring. Galleries and museums have reopened against all the odds, sheer grit and determination has seen funding grants pursued and won, and the public has responded in kind by steadfastly supporting our cultural institutions in their time of need. Currently, UK commerce is facing unprecedented – and seemingly unending – challenges. From the hospitality industry, to retail, events and of course the arts, times are tough for business owners and employees alike. It is therefore without hyperbole that I say how truly fortunate and privileged we feel here at Castle to be celebrating our 25th anniversary this year. It is a much-needed good news story in a
media landscape otherwise dominated by worrying statistics and headlines. In our 25 year history we have discovered talented artists, grown a network of Castle Fine Art galleries all across the UK, united collectors with the very best contemporary fine art and developed a feeling of family among our staff; no small feat. With every day that passes, our shared pride in Castle Fine Art grows. We need only look at the fantastic work being undertaken currently by Nic Joly, to celebrate the achievements of the NHS while raising funds to support charitable causes, to gain some insight into why Castle Fine Art has a special place in people’s hearts. It’s easy to feel, in time such as these, somewhat impotent and unable to make a real difference where it matters, thinking most especially in terms of the NHS. Until something happens that reminds us all that we each have a part to play, on whatever scale, and ‘making
a difference’ can manifest in myriad forms. Reading the testimonials from our artists, their memories of the years they’ve spent with us and their warm wishes to all of us here at Castle for our special year was precisely that tonic. Similarly, through our long-running ‘Your World, Our Art®’ competition, we see countless wonderful photographs sent in by you, our lovely collectors, showing our art taking pride of place in your homes. As we now all face far more time indoors, when the approaching winter months will unavoidably limit our hours of escape outside, it means so much more to hear how our art has brought joy to you. Long may it continue! On which heartening and positive note, thank you for being part of Castle’s continuing journey and I will conclude with my wishes to all of you for a happy and healthy end to 2020.
