National Galleries of Scotland bank major sponsorship
Bank of Scotland and the National Galleries of Scotland have announced the biggest ever sponsorship of modern art in Scotland.
Over the next two years, Bank of Scotland will invest over £400,000 in Bank of Scotland Total Art, a series of two major modern art exhibitions at the Royal Scottish Academy, featuring Andy Warhol and Joseph Beuys.
By working in partnership, Bank of Scotland and the National Galleries aim to ensure that modern art reaches the widest possible audience, creating educational and inspirational experiences for all. The Bank's support will create an innovative education programme with a special focus on young people, targeting, for example, nursery-school children as well as their parents and carers.
Bank of Scotland invests around £4 million per year in an award-winning programme of sport and arts sponsorship. Partnerships include Scottish Ballet, Bank of Scotland Children's International Theatre Festival, Bank of Scotland Fireworks Concert and the Edinburgh International Festival.
Benny Higgins, Chief Executive, Retail, HBOS, said: "Bank of Scotland has a long history of major support for the arts in Scotland. We are delighted that our new partnership with the National Galleries, Bank of Scotland Total Art, will bring such iconic modern artists to new audiences."
John Leighton, Director-General of the National Galleries of Scotland, commented: "In differing ways, Warhol and Beuys smashed through traditional preconceptions of the nature of art and its relation to society. Thanks to the hugely generous support of Bank of Scotland Total art, we will be able to mount two superb exhibitions, creating a dynamic dialogue between these artists whose work still seems incredibly vital and relevant today."
