THE GREAT NORTH ART SHOW at Ripon Cathedral is an exhibition of contemporary paintings held annually.
The aim of the exhibition is to promote the work of invited professional artists from Yorkshire and the North and to make fine art readily available to residents of Yorkshire and all visitors to the county.
All works of art displayed are for sale. Proceeds go to the 'Ripon Cathedral Development Campaign' (Reg. Charity No.1086760) to which The Great North Art Show is affiliated. The organisers work on a 'not-for-profit' basis. Proceeds go to the Cathedral's Music Foundation helping to preserve the choral and music tradition of Ripon Cathedral.
This year an 'Art Trail' has been organised through the city, ending at Thorpe Prebend House where there is an exhibition of the 55 winning artists in the Northern Design 2007 Awards.
