Co. Down, Newtownards, Conway Square, Newtownards, County Down, BT23 4NP

About

Join us in the Sunburst Gallery, Ards Arts Centre, throughout August to visit our visual artist at work!

The gallery will be transformed into a temporary working studio where you can watch Ross create work and learn more about his processes and inspirations.

Following a hugely successful solo exhibition in June, Ross will use his time to develop a body of experimental work on paper that explores ideas around light, colour and atmosphere.

Ross welcomes the opportunity to share that process, talk to visitors about the work and give an insight into how his ideas evolve through experimentation, revision and reflection. This residency presents the artist with a chance to take risks, try different approaches and learn from the process.
