The exhibition features a wonderful mix of watercolours, oils, acrylics, mixed media and sculpture by amateur and professional artists including Sarah Carrington, Odette Beggs, Heather Byrne, Kevin McClelland, Harry McMahon and Rosella Watton-Austin.

As one of the oldest groups of its kind, Coleraine Art Society has firmly established itself as an important platform for local artists working in all sorts of mediums, while the galleries at Flowerfield provide an excellent backdrop for such an eclectic mix of work.
