The ‘One Place, Many People’ exhibition was the result of the hard work of 72 participants hailing from the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council area and runs until Saturday, October 3.

Those participating in the project had the opportunity to explore their own culture, heritage, beliefs and traditions through workshops which were facilitated by renowned artist Norma Beggs.
