This curated exhibition, drawn from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Collection, seeks to explore the innate need to feel connection - with each other, the environment and our inner worlds. This exhibition brings together artworks intended to both stir our senses and still us through their textures, materials and narratives.
Embracing work in a range of different media, including painting, photography, sculpture, craft, video and installation, we are encouraged to be present, feel challenged and to contemplate what we see.
The Arts Council’s contemporary collection represents over twenty years of visual art by artists, from emerging to established, living and working in Northern Ireland. This showcase includes work by artists who are based in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area.
