Whitby Trawler entering Whitby Harbour by Jack Rigg

Yorkshire's seascapes and rolling countryside are the focus of a new exhibition of pictures currently running at Hartlepool Art Gallery. The display profiles the work of the Fylingdales Group of Artists – 19 people from across Yorkshire including Scarborough, Pickering, Wakefield and Doncaster. Mostly professionals, they are drawn together by their love of Yorkshire and painting. The Group was founded in 1925 in Robin Hood's Bay and was originally limited to 12 members but has since grown to a maximum of 22. There are more than 60 pictures in the exhibition ranging from watercolours, oils and pen-and-ink drawings to etchings and lino cuts. Subjects include seascapes of Whitby and Staithes and landscapes of Runswick Bay. All the items are for sale at prices ranging from £125 to £2,000. The exhibition runs until Sunday, July 27th and admission is free.

More than a million visitors are expected to descend on Hartlepool - between August 7th and August 10th, 2010 - when the Tall Ships' Races come to town - which is expected to be "Hartlepool's biggest ever party".

If we want North East England to flourish, we need to continue to work together to raise awareness of the region as a fantastic place to live, work, study, visit, do business and invest. With North East England you can play your part
