REVEAL, CONCEAL – LOUTH CRAFT MARK

Reveal, Conceal is an exciting exhibition from Louth Craft Mark Designers Network which is bound to reveal something new, something else, something hidden!

The artists have come together across a range of disciplines, including textiles, glass, jewellery, ceramics, print, illustration, sculpture and painting to create a new body of work for The Market Place Gallery which explores the ‘inside out’ of things.

For almost two decades Louth Craft Mark have been showcasing their members work in public spaces including, Bloom in the park, Showcase Ireland, Highlanes Gallery and Powerscourt Town House.

25 YEARS OF CREATIVITY – ARTS COUNCIL NI COLLECTION

Celebrating 25 years of Creativity is an exciting exhibition that marks 25 years of artistic expression at The Market Place Gallery. This milestone event showcases the extraordinary talent of a diverse group of leading visual artists and makers, many of whom have exhibited at the gallery either as solo artists or as part of collectives over the past quarter-century.

Featuring a rich array of disciplines—including drawing, painting, sculpture, craft, print, photography, and textiles —the exhibition highlights the depth and diversity of creative work from artists many of whom are from the Armagh, Banbridge, and Craigavon borough.

This exhibition in association with the Arts Council of Northern Ireland has been made possible by their Art Lending Scheme, offering a unique opportunity for public venues to display works from the council’s contemporary collection of over 700 artworks.

A heartfelt thank you to all the artists for being an integral part of our 25-year celebration of art and creativity. Your contributions have shaped the vibrant legacy of visual arts at the venue, and we look forward to creating more together in the future.
