New sponsor for art fair

Frances Fergusson and Tim Wood announce their new collaboration.

Borders Art Fair has announced an exciting collaboration with investment management firm McInroy & Wood, which will see the Haddington-based business become headline sponsor of the event.

Frances Fergusson, director of the Borders Art Fair, said: “As a non-profit event in a rural location, corporate sponsorship is vital to help the Borders Art Fair survive and thrive, particularly against the current economic background. It is a pleasure to be collaborating with a business that truly understands and celebrates the creativity in our region.”

Tim Wood, CEO of McInroy & Wood, says: “We choose to sponsor events that closely reflect our approach and style.

"The Borders Art Fair does that naturally and is a refreshing reminder of our nation’s artistic talent.”

The event takes place from March 17-19 at the Borders Events Centre, Kelso, with more than 70 artists, galleries and makers exhibiting their work.
