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.
The features on Joe Brown, Albert Lee and Tom Parker have been moved to the

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
