Ards Arts Centre Announces New February Exhibitions
Ards Arts Centre has announced two new art exhibitions for February – Internal Space, a joint exhibition by Ned Jackson Smyth and Helen Bradbury, and Real Lives: The Art of Living with Dementia, a Community Exhibition by Dementia NI.
Visual artists Ned Jackson Smyth (sculptor) and Helen Bradbury (painter) come together in the exhibition 'Internal Space' to share the work they have created over the past year which links their personal thinking and perspective in response to the external physical world.
The exhibition, which will show in Ards Arts Centre's Georgian Gallery, will feature painting, sculpture and film that give the viewer an insight into the thinking of both artists and the inspiration drawn from the world around them.
Curated by Dementia NI, Northern Ireland's leading charity for people in the early to middle stages of dementia, 'Real Lives: The Art of Living with Dementia' will include thought-provoking photography and patchwork quilts created by Dementia NI members, all of who live with a diagnosis of dementia.
Challenging some misconceptions about dementia, the exhibition will share a message of hope that many people with dementia are still able to enjoy life in the same way as before their diagnosis and live well with dementia. This exhibition will be on display in the Sunburst Gallery.
Both exhibitions open on Thursday 1 February and run until Saturday 24 February. Admission is free during gallery opening hours.
All are welcome to attend a preview event in Ards Arts Centre on Thursday 1 February at 7pm.
