At our Monday group we work with an amazing group of people living with Dementia, where we often look at art and review what we see. Making art is fun but it’s also a workout for our brains! Last week we looked at the painting 'After the Meeting' (1914) by Cecilia Beaux (1855–1942).

The Keighley Sculpture Trail features Rombald’s Rocks artworks designed by local community groups.
