Dunluce Parish set for 17th Art & Photography Exhibition

Wednesday April 22nd 2026

This year’s Dunluce Art & Photography Exhibition will feature 220 paintings and photographs.

Dunluce Parish hosts its 17th Art & Photography Exhibition from Friday May 1- Monday May 4 in the Parish Centre in Priestland Road, Bushmills. 

Aileen Gault, coordinator of the exhibition said: “This is a great community art event and we feel it’s a lovely opportunity for both locals and visitors to come along and enjoy the beautiful artwork on display.

“There is a huge variety again this year with 220 paintings and photographs, as well as a small selection of locally made ceramic pieces. We hope that there is be something to appeal to everyone.” 

Since the first exhibition in 2008, art sales from the annual event have raised many thousands of pounds for various charities. In the past four years alone, almost £12,000 has been presented 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 74 artists from across Northern Ireland will be on display and are up for sale.

Aileen said: “Whether you intend to buy or not, everybody is welcome to come and enjoy 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.”
