A YORK law firm is giving up office space to showcase the work of local artist John Creighton.

The firm is hosting a four-month exhibition at its offices in Rowntree Wharf in its second year of support for culture and the arts.

John Lane, partner at Rollits, said: “At Rollits we actively seek to support culture and the arts, and following on from the success of Nichole Dean’s debut exhibition at our offices last year, we are making a large area of our York premises available to John this winter to host an exhibition of his paintings and drawings.

“Art can be appreciated absolutely anywhere –even in a law firm – and I’m certain that by showcasing the work of an extremely talented local artist we will generate a great deal of new interest in his work.”

John Creighton lives and works in Ryedale, and will use his new exhibition to showcase work from 2007 to 2014. The exhibition opens with a private viewing on November 12, followed by public viewings.
