Leeds Art Gallery's picture lending scheme:
Have you ever thought it would be nice to have a picture at home or in your office which you could change on a regular basis?
The Picture Lending Scheme enables residents of Leeds to borrow works on a three month loan for a modest fee - just £3.50. Annual subscriptions, of £12.00, are available.
This innovative scheme was started in December 1961 with a grant from the Gulbenkian Foundation.
The scheme has the following types of pictures:
- Original oils by local artists
- Original drawings and watercolours, including works by Leeds based artists Phil Hopkins and Mary Lord
- Original photographs, including Fay Godwin's 'Beech Trees' from the poetry anthology 'Remains in Elmete' by Ted Hughes
- Original, signed, limited edition prints
- Original prints, unlimited editions
- Reproductions from the collections at Leeds Art Gallery - sorry we can't lend you the real thing but then again 'Scotland Forever' might be a little too large for the average house these days! You can purchase copies of the reproductions from the shop if you decide you like them
Picture selection couldn't be easier. You apply in person, with a photocopy of your ID (passport or driving licence) on one of the quarterly Saturday selections days.
There is usually an artist-led workshop taking place in the Artspace as an added attraction. These events are free but there may be a modest charge to cover the cost of materials.
Picture selection days for 2008 are :
- Saturday 19 January 2008
- Saturday 12 April 2008
- Saturday 12 July 2008
- Saturday 18 October 2008
