Coleraine Art Society has celebrated its 71st exhibition launch at Flowerfield Arts Centre.

The special occasion was marked with an event hosted by the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Councillor Sean Bateson, who officially opened the new exhibition.

It 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 group’s 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.

The exhibition continues until Saturday 9th November, and many of the artworks are for sale at very reasonable prices – perfect for that special gift for the festive season.
