JM Finn taps into arts sponsorship to empower talent

JM Finn has awarded its first Graduate Artist Award to celebrate its ongoing partnership with Affordable Art Fair UK.

The partnership bolsters JM Finn’s wider objectives of simplifying financial challenges and nurturing wealth across generations.

Oliver Tregoning, head of marketing at JM Finn, said the wealth manager believes in financial freedom, security, and young people pursuing their passions.

“Supporting this award for young and upcoming artists reflects our mantra and dedication to empowering emerging talent as they follow their passions by embarking on a career in the art world,” said Tregoning.

Graduate winner Aisha Seriki received a £5,000 reward sponsored by JM Finn to support her with studio costs at a critical moment in her career.

The exhibition was home to Aisha’s art photography work and took place at the fair in Battersea Park in October.

The award gives emerging artists a level of security when they need it most, added Hugo Barclay, fair director at Affordable Art Fair UK.

Affordable Art Fair UK claims to have revolutionised the art market with an accessible approach, nurturing both established and up-and-coming artists.

JM Finn currently has over 100 investment professionals, with funds of £10.4 billion on behalf of over 18,500 clients.
