In a flurry of brisk air and excitement, we send our warmest wishes to you all at the dawning of the new year. As we brightly stride into the first days of 2025, we take a moment to savour the quiet, reflective moments—and artwork—that recharge and revive us, ready to embrace the hopeful new horizons the year has in store. From a noteworthy lineup of exhibitions to our dynamic and ever-growing collection that highlights quality, artistry and tradition, the York Fine Arts team could not be prouder to share our latest updates with you all.

Under the blanket of freshly fallen snow, plans for our 2025 exhibition programme have taken root and continue to grow day by day. From familiar favourites including the highly anticipated 10th annual solo exhibition of Yorkshire artist Clare Haley to dynamic group shows that will highlight some of the gallery’s other new and collectible artists, the gallery’s exhibition lineup for the year is already proving to be one of our most ambitious yet. Additional details about upcoming shows and events will continue to be unveiled in due course, so do revisit our Exhibitions page and keep a close eye on our monthly newsletter for updates.

The past month has seen a revitalising new collection of work arrive to the gallery by collectible favourites including Tina Spratt, Rupert Aker, Jay Nottingham, Alan Smith, Alex Hill, Stephen Hawkins, Andrew Grant Kurtis, Stephen Hawkins and Edward Hersey. From chromatic landscapes to tranquil seascapes, there lies a plethora of outstanding paintings just waiting to be discovered by their next collector. Explore and check back on our recently acquired page to see these and any other new arrivals to be unveiled in the weeks ahead.

We hope you will enjoy our January Newsletter. As ever, we thank you for your patronage and look forward to welcoming you to the gallery soon.
