RYEDALE'S most artistic residents are displaying their work this week as part of the district council's summer art exhibition.
Paintings, textiles, 3D work and photography are some of the categories on show in the Milton Rooms, in Malton, until Saturday.
Jim Poyner, Ryedale District Council's arts officer, said it had been overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of this year's work.
"We have hung more work than ever before this year, about 254 pieces I think. That's around 40 more than last year."
Mr Poyner said the exhibition was proving to be a crowd pleaser.
"I think on the opening night we sold around £2,000 of work," he said.
"People need to come sooner rather than later if they want to buy something, before it all sells out."
The exhibition is open from 10am to 4pm each day. Admission is 50p (concessions 30p).
