Picture perfect prize

The award is in recognition of the gallery’s excellence at exhibiting the finest artwork, predominately by Yorkshire artists.

It is the highest award that a commercial gallery can achieve and competition from galleries across the country is always fierce.

It is only the second time that a gallery in the North of England has won it, and the first one in West Yorkshire.

Steven Lord said: “I am absolutely delighted to win this most prestigious award from the Fine Art Trade Guild.

“I knew that we had been shortlisted when I went down to the awards ceremony in London, but never expected to win it.”

“The Fine Art Trade Guild measured our customer service and art knowledge alongside the professionalism of our exhibitions.
