ING is proud to support one of the most important independent exhibitions in the UK and appreciates The Discerning Eye's commitment to individuality, excellence and increasing opportunities for artists across the UK.

ING has a long-established interest in art. ING Group, headquartered in Amsterdam, has a collection of over 20,000 Dutch contemporary works of art.

Our London office is home to one of the City's premier art collections, featuring work by artists such as Stanley Spencer, LS Lowry, and Samuel Palmer. We welcome numerous art interest groups to our offices throughout the year to see this collection. The collection is complemented by a programme of temporary exhibitions which seeks to develop opportunities for artists and to bring their work to the attention of new audiences.

These credentials as a collector of fine art are complemented by the active role ING plays in the art world as a major sponsor, for example of the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands. Long term sponsorships, such as our partnership with Discerning Eye, lead to many positive benefits for a range of organisations and individuals, and these continue, and in many instances become more important, in times of recession.

The Discerning Eye, with its objectives of encouraging a wider understanding and appreciation of the visual arts and creating opportunities for artists, is a natural arts partner for ING. For artists in the process of establishing their careers, the exhibition creates a forum to display work alongside internationally recognised names and the opportunity to sell in an exhibition freely accessible to the general public. For the audience, the exhibition provides a unique opportunity to view, and perhaps buy, work in a wonderful range of styles from a wide range of artists; work that is domestic in scale and reasonably priced.
