Making Space - Business As Usual
On Thursday 15th October in a vacant retail unit within Bow Street Mall, Lisburn a group exhibition of art works generated as part of a connected Making Space Instagram residency during the global pandemic will launch and run until Sunday 25th October.
Led by artist, Niamh Meehan as part of the Voluntary Arts Ireland Making Space initiative, the exhibition will feature a range of work including live performances, sculpture, sound works, painting and more, with daily opening times 10:00-17:00 except Sunday 13:00-17:00.
