About

Throughout August, Ards Arts Centre will play host to the principle Creative Peninsula exhibition, featuring exclusive works by the finest Artists and Makers from the Ards and North Down Borough.

This exhibition will feature unique pieces of art and craftwork in a variety of mediums, specially selected for display in Ards Arts Centre and created in our Borough. This exhibition is a celebration of the exclusivity and quality of the artwork produced by local artists and makers and a fantastic opportunity to purchase a beautiful piece of art.

Each year the exhibition is themed, with each work taking inspiration from this concept. This year's theme is 'Origins'.

Artworks are for sale, and many artists accept commission work too.

Be sure to pick up a Creative Peninsula programme for more information on other events and activities taking place during the festival.
