Harrogate & Nidderdale Art Group Autumn Exhibition

The Harrogate & Nidderdale Art Group are holding their autumn exhibition at West Park United Reformed Church on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November, with the doors open from 10am to 5pm both days. It's a local show in the truest sense, bringing together work from artists across the town and the surrounding Nidderdale area.

What you'll find on the walls is a broad mix: framed paintings, drawings, mounted prints and greetings cards. It's not just one style or medium, so you'll see a fair range of work in one room. A good number of the pieces are for sale at affordable prices, so if you're looking for something to take home, it's worth keeping an eye out for the ones with prices on them.

There's a bit of history behind the group, too. It goes back to 1936, when thirteen artists started it under the name the Harrogate Group of Artists. These days it's grown to more than 60 members of all ages and abilities, and they're always open to new ones joining. Beyond the exhibition, they run regular club nights on Thursdays at Harrogate Grammar School, so the autumn show is just one part of what they do throughout the year.

Entry is free, and the exhibition runs across the whole weekend, so you can drop in on Saturday or Sunday. The venue is West Park United Reformed Church, 31 Meadow Drive, Harrogate, HG1 3LD, open 10am to 5pm both days.
