Pickering Art Club is hosting its annual exhibition next weekend

It will be held from September 6 to 9 in the Whistler Room, Memorial Hall, Potter Hill, Pickering. The exhibition is free to attend, and most artwork is for sale and includes original paintings, drawings, collagraphs and ceramics.

Pickering Art Club was founded in 1978 and currently has around 65 members. Its activities are based in Pickering, at The Memorial Hall .

A spokesperson said: “There are monthly evening art demonstrations by professional artists, in a variety of media, usually on the second Thursday of the month from 7 to 9pm. A practical session is held each month, on the third Wednesday evening. There are also two workshops for members, one in spring and the other in autumn.

“We take part in many Outdoor Painting Days during the summer from moorland villages to York and the coast. These are very informal, great fun and very helpful for honing your artistic skills.

“Our work is proudly displayed during the Annual Exhibition in September, where we encourage all members to exhibit, no matter what their level of experience. 3D artwork is also very welcome.”

The exhibition is open 10am-5pm. All welcome. For more details go to www.pickeringartclub.co.uk
