Methley Art Group - Putting Methley in the Picture
Welcome to our site. We hope you enjoy looking at what we do and who we are and if you are interested in joining us please get in touch. Enjoy browsing our galleries and please come back for another look in a couple of weeks time as the pictures are always changing.
Methley Art Group is now Art26.. see below!
Methley
Methley is situated between Leeds and Castleford in West Yorkshire, England.
The village has a history of coal mining, though the mines in this part of the country are long gone. The surrounding area has much to offer the artist, from local rural and industrial scenery through the rugged landscapes of the Pennines to the green and pleasant countryside of the nearby Yorkshire Dales.
About Methley Art Group
Methley Art Group comprises of people who come from all over the area including Leeds, Wakefield, Rothwell and Castleford. A friendly group, spanning a range of ages, who share an interest in painting and drawing in a number of different media, including watercolour, acylics and oils.
Although there is no formal tuition at our meetings we have amateur artists of all abilities who are always ready to share information, opinions and advice. Part of the attraction of the group is that going to the meetings creates the impetus to actually work on a picture!. Some members finish a painting in a night, others take all year.
Methley Art Group has been running for many years and meets every Thursday evening between 7.00 and 9.00 pm from September to the end of April, with a break for Christmas and Easter. During the summer meetings are held on alternate Thursdays and painting days out are
organised into the surrounding countryside to paint 'live' and collect material to paint during the winter. Keep an eye on the blog for meeting details and outings.
Throughout the year members of the group take part in the regular Leeds and Wakefield Art Walks.

Covid Update -
For many years the Group has met at Methley Methodist Church which is on Main Street in Mickletown near Methley. Unfortunately as a result as a result of the pandemic the church has been closed and is unlikely to reopen. So Methley Art Group is looking for a new home, almost certainly in Methley or Rothwell. Once this has been sorted and rules allow, we will recommence our meetings with details here. To widen our appeal to the whole of LS26 and surrounding areas we are re-launching as Art 26 and have a new website under construction - take a look at
