A DURHAM business school graduate who co-founded an art gallery on the Internet as part of his studies has won an award.
Greg Dunne, one of the founder directors of the Northern Heart Gallery, has won joint first prize in the postgraduate category at the Association of Business Schools' awards for business and management students.
Mr Dunne, and fellow founder directors Val Fairbairn Barnes and Neil Elborn, are Durham Business School graduates and set up the gallery as part of their MBA elective in new business creation.
The Northern Heart Gallery aims to bring visual art and artists in the North-East to the attention of the international art market.
There are plans to open a gallery or retail outlet, but at present art can be viewed at www.northernheartgallery.com
