Picture lending scheme
The Art Gallery's picture lending scheme allows residents of Leeds to borrow pictures for three months for a modest fee and proof of address. The picture lending scheme includes oil paintings, original artists' prints and drawings, many of which are by local artists such as Mary Lord, Norman Stevens, Michael Andrews and Simon Bull. There are reproductions of famous works from the permanent collections as well, so you can try a print by Atkinson Grimshaw before buying one in the Gallery shop.
See our Museums and Galleries What's On Guide for further information on exhibitions and events.
Prints on demand
Leeds Art Gallery has launched an online 'print on demand' service where anyone can purchase their own high quality image from the Leeds Art Gallery collections.
For the first time, a wide selection of images are now available on demand with an option for matching frames, ready mounted and delivered directly to your door. Choose your favourite image from the Gallery with a few simple clicks and you can have some of the best art in Britain hanging on your wall.
The site has easy-to-use, clear indications of size, which show you how big the picture is next to a man and prints can be made on a wide variety of sizes and materials. Simply go to http://artprints.leeds.gov.uk to find a world of exquisite images described by the Times Newspaper as one of the best collections of British Art outside of London.
This new and exclusive service has launched with over 650 images immediately and will add almost a 1000 more over the next year as copyright permission is granted.
