A NEW series of insight evenings start in Saltburn on Friday.

Geoff Watkins, from the University of Teesside, is the first presenter of the weekly art meetings, which take place at 7.15pm in the Saltburn Community and Arts Association main hall.

The series will explore many different types of art forms and how art takes a place in so many different ways in people's lives.

The Art of Napoleon will launch the series with a description of the period and his impact on art.

The course lasts ten weeks and sessions are free.

Further information about the course is available from Saltburn Community and Arts Association on (01287) 624997.
