AN art group inspired by professional artists is holding an exhibition and sale. members of Leeming Art Group are staging the exhibition at Northallerton Town Hall on April 22 between 9.30am and 4pm.

The group was formed in 2003 and meets on Wednesday afternoons at Leeming Village Hall throughout the year.

Because of the size of the hall membership is restricted to around 15 people who mainly come from the Leeming, Bedale, Ripon and Northallerton areas.

The group is self funded and during the year the aims to hold a minimum of six half or full day workshops using professional artists to inspire and help develop their work, mainly from the Yorkshire area.

Although members in the main use the medium they feel most comfortable with, the workshops cover the full range of available media so that individuals can learn the different techniques when using watercolours, acrylics, pastels, or oils.
