The Big Art Show
Our Origins
For 30 years, art enthusiasts, artists, and collectors in the North of England celebrated the art of local talent at the biennial ‘Art for Youth North’ exhibition. This long-standing event not only showcased Northern Artists, but also raised substantial funds for UK Youth, a national charity dedicated to supporting young people.
2025 Rebrand
In a bid to evolve and further support our local community, in 2025 the exhibition underwent a rebrand as The Big Art Show. While the same dedicated team continue to organise the event at its traditional venue, the focus shifted to benefit a more local cause. All proceeds from the The Big Art Show now go to support Yorkshire Children’s Charity.
Event Details
The Big Art Show is a biennial event, held during the October half term. The current venue is Queen Mary’s School, Topcliffe, North Yorkshire, YO7 3BZ.
