An exhibition of portraits by members of Sunbridge Art Club is now open at Shipley Library.

The club, which meets at the Irish Club in Rebecca Street, is desperately in need of new members and models.

Malcolm Stead, who runs the group, said: “Portrait is a fascinating subject and a good discipline. We are in need of people young and old to sit for us.

“We have a real mixed bag of members, including cartoonists who do caricatures of models and some amateurs as well.”

The display will run until Saturday, September 25. The club meets at the Irish Club in Rebecca Street on Wednesdays from 7pm to 9pm.

Models will be paid £15 a session.
