Latest exhibition marks 60 years

TALENTED artists have celebrated 60 years of a special group by unveiling their latest exhibition at the Brownhill Countryside Centre in Dobcross.

Since the Saddleworth Group of Artists started in 1950, exhibitors have included LS Lowry, Helen Bradley and Russell Howarth.

Displaying stunning paintings of haunting landscapes, artists unveiled their work for the exhibition with more than 70 intricately painted works.

There is really something for everyone, including still life, landscapes, portraits and floral art.

The winter exhibition marks the landmark anniversary, with paintings from members of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts also proving a highlight.

Most of the work at the new exhibition will be sold as unique Christmas gifts, with a snowy scene depicted to perfection by Janis Bowie set to get art lovers in a festive mood.

The paintings will be available to view at the centre, open Wednesday to Friday, 11am to 4pm and weekends from 10.30am to 4pm until December 18.
