Love is in the Eden Place Arts' Centre air.
Art aficionados have been invited to love the arts this Valentine's Day by visiting Eden Place Arts' Centre.
The Centre, which is based in Pilots' Row Community Centre in the Bogside, is launching 'Our Climate Challenge', on Tuesday, February 14, from 4pm to 6pm.
20 North West Regional College students who are currently studying the UAL Foundation Diploma in Art and Design are exhibiting their work from February 14 to 24. The exhibition has been organised jointly by Eden Place Arts Centre and NWRC as part of their Community Outreach Programme.
The theme of the exhibition is 'Our Climate Challenge' which is addressed by the students through a variety of media including oil on canvas, mixed media textiles and fashion.
The students come from all over the North West with some travelling daily from as far away as Omagh to attend the College.
The exhibitors range in age from 18 to over 40 with some now returning to the field of education after a break of many years.
Most have never exhibited in public before and this exhibition represents their opportunity to show their talent to a wider audience.
Last year saw more than 30 students from the course progressed to Third Level institutions across Ireland and within Britain and this work will form part of their portfolio submissions through UCAS to Universities across Britain.
The NWRC Fine Art lecturer Kathleen Doherty commented: "The quality of the art of these students is testament to the many hours of research and work that they have invested in examining the theme of Climate Change'.
Lauren Scott the students' textiles lecturer noted that "the range of approaches taken by the students highlights the breadth of imagination that these students possess".
"2023 marks the 30th anniversary of Eden Place Arts Centre bringing arts to the heart of the community and we are absolutely delighted to have our arts centre burtsting with young talent from the North West Regional College," said Judi Logue, Arts Centre Co-ordinator.
"This is a great opportunity for the young people to experience exhibiting their work outside the college.
"We are inviting everyone to come in to view this wonderful exhibition and share our love of art on this Valentines day," said Judi.
