Dunluce Parish prepares for 16 annual Art and Photography Exhibition

Monday April 28th 2025

The annual Art and Photography Exhibition hosted by Dunluce Parish is now in its 16th year.

Dunluce Parish’s annual Art and Photography Exhibition returns to the Parish Centre in Priestland Road, Bushmills, from Friday May 2 until Monday May 5.

Aileen Gault, coordinator of the exhibition which is in its 16th year, said: “We have several professional artists showing their work and it’s stunningly beautiful and inspirational, but this is also a great community art event and I think that it’s something special to see what’s on display from friends and neighbours you never knew had such talent!”

Since the first exhibition held in 2008, art sales from the annual event have raised many thousands of pounds for charities.

In 2024 alone, more than £3,500 went to Bishops’ Appeal, the Church of Ireland’s World Aid and Development Programme, which is the nominated charity again this year.

The Dunluce Parish Exhibition provides a great shop window for artists from the north coast and beyond. This year works by over 60 artists from across Northern Ireland will be on display and up for sale.

Aileen added: “Whether you intend to buy or not, everybody is welcome to come and enjoying viewing the amazing art and photography. Then the Drawing Room Café is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the delicious teas, coffees and home-made treats.”

Opening hours – Friday 7pm-9pm; Saturday 10am-4pm; Sunday 2pm-4pm; Monday 10am-2pm.

Admission £2, Refreshments £4 (ages 16 and over).
