AN exhibition of more than 50 paintings produced by an art group has gone on show at Kirkleatham Museum.

The Phoenix Project art group's handiwork, Painting For Fun, can be found at the Bellamy Pavilion in the grounds of the Redcar museum.

The group is a joint venture between the Occupational Therapy Department of St Luke's Hospital and Age Concern, who meet every week at the Grosmont Day Centre, Redcar.

Group co-ordinator Lynne Jamieson said: "I think the work is amazing. The group has been running for four years and the quality just keeps improving.

"We're about promoting mental well-being by making friends."

The artwork is on display until May 31. All paintings are available for sale. For more information about the art group, contact Lynne on (07841) 150960. Any community groups interested in using the arts space can contact the museum on (01642) 479500.
