AC Gallery

Sadie Pearson Last Updated 13 September 2023

What was once, in the 1950s, a family-run art shop, has since evolved through the generations into a successful series of galleries across the north. AC Gallery, however, still maintains its original core values. In its third generation now, pride is taken in quality care of the customer and the art alike. Their Huddersfield gallery is still in the original location, and is a beautiful space to visit. Peruse their multiple exhibitions and buy expertly framed artworks in Huddersfield’s oldest independent gallery.
