Spring art exhibition at Carrickergus Civic Centre

The first citizen joined members of the long-established club at their preview evening in Carrickfergus Civic Centre.

Showcasing work in acrylic, pastel, watercolour, oil and glass, the exhibition features landscapes, portraits, animals and abstract work.

The club, which has over 40 members, would like to pass on its appreciation to Mid & East Antrim Borough Council for hosting another great exhibition.

A club spokesperson stated: “The preview evening is always enjoyed by the invited guests and dignitaries in preparation for the two-week exhibition ahead.

“All paintings at the exhibition are available for sale; it’s a great opportunity to purchase original art work at very affordable prices.”

The display continues until March 29 with the Antrim Street gallery open daily from 10am until 4.45pm. Admission is free and all are warmly welcomed.

The club meets on Tuesday evenings in the former Downshire School with a varied programme of events throughout the year including demonstrations by renowned Northern Ireland artists, workshops and Plein Air painting days.
