We are a group of local artists aiming to foster the artistic talents of local people and to encourage a general interest in art within a friendly club setting. Visitors and members of other art groups are most welcome.
This morning we received news that Mike Ainsworth had passed away late Thursday evening. His family were with him. Mike had suffered some complications after successful radiotherapy for a recent cancer diagnosis. He had been a member of Leyland Artists for nearly eleven years and the groups treasurer since the restart after the Covid lock down. A role he had successfully taken on with enthusiasm. He will be greatly missed and we wish him God speed on his journey.

| Mike Ainsworth 1947 - 2024 |
Another years slips by at Leyland Artists but a good excuse for a party. The 5th of December was our last meeting this year due to the centre closing for refurbishment so everyone brought along something to eat and we celebrated another successful year for the group.

| Sue Redman - John Emmerton Trophy Winner |
Sue Redman won the John Emmerton Trophy for her entry in the end of year competition. Sadly Mike Ainsworth, last years winner, was not well enough to attend to present the trophy but that can be given to Sue after the Christmas break.
Despite the Mountains theme having to finish early five entries were presented for display. More will be presented here in the new year as they are completed. Click an image for a larger picture.
