“I was delighted to see pieces made by ceramicist Adam Frew and glass artist Catherine Keenan, who are based in a studio in Aghadowey, not far from where I live, among the beautiful items on display. Our art centres and museums are custodians of our shared past through their collections and I am very pleased that we are showcasing this through this very special exhibition.”
Causeway Collection 100 features a wealth of visual arts and sculptures including works by Basil Blackshaw, Diarmuid Delargy, Micky Donnelly, Charles McAuley, Michael McGuinness, Ross Wilson, Norman Wilkinson and many more.
A creative learning programme suitable for all ages has also been created to run alongside the exhibition.
The exhibition continues until September 11.
