Although it has embraced all of the arts disciplines in the past, it is the visual artists who are still most active. The Club is delighted to bring to Armagh, for the first time, their Summer Exhibition which will feature the work of established artists from throughout the province of Ulster and will offer a variety of styles and disciplines. ‘Heads, Hats and Beards (Mostly)’ by Neil Shawcross Foyer Walls 22 July – 17 August Best known for full length portraits, the acclaimed artist, Neil Shawcross, has, for the past few years, turned his attention to a series of heads and this exhibition features a selection of 18 paintings.
