**Castle Fine Art - About Us**

Since opening our first gallery over 25 years ago, Castle Fine Art has become the UK’s market leading publisher and retailer of original and limited-edition art. As the industry's leading art retailer with a network of galleries across the UK, we remain as committed as ever to our motto, ‘Your world, our art’.

We are still owner-managed and although we are a national retailer, we work hard to be informal and keep ‘family-feel’ to business. We work with some of the biggest names in art but know we could not be the successful business we have become without the passion, commitment and skill of our team. That is why we invest heavily in our people, offer great opportunities for further training and development as well as a valuable benefits package.
