Through the exploration of mark making in ceramics and paint, the artists examine the interconnectedness of our surroundings and the subtle lines that define them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-23207\" src=\"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1-Copy-1-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"298\" \/>Visitors are encouraged to explore how each artist navigates the intricate interplay between the seen and unseen and where the familiar dissolves into the unknown. The exhibition offers a journey that challenges the conventional notions of landscapes and will show in the Arts Centre\u2019s Georgian Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Bated Breath<\/em> exhibition, by <strong>Claudia Rose<\/strong>, draws inspiration from the historical relationship of the Ards Peninsula to textile industries in Ireland and influence of Irish Lace. Claudia visualises a sculptural\/print homage that connects the intrinsic and laborious nature with contemporary materiality upon the artefacts drawn from a period of socio-cultural poverty, social inequity, and yearning of autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Claudia Rose<\/strong> is a multi-disciplinary artist who observes the collective desire to place sentience upon objects and spaces. This exhibition will be on display in the Sunburst Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Both exhibitions open on Thursday 5 September and continue until Saturday 28 September Admission to Ards Arts Centre is free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All are welcome to attend a preview event in Ards Arts Centre on Thursday 5 September at 7pm.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andculture.org.uk\">www.andculture.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ards Arts Centre in Newtownards welcomes two new art exhibitions for the month of September: Unbound Horizons: Navigating Landscapes and Boundaries a group exhibition of sculpture and painting by and Cheryl Bleakley, Grainne Kielty, Sally Young, Lorna Noble and Sandra Robinson and Bated Breath, a solo exhibition by Claudia Rose Unbound Horizons delves into the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/2024\/09\/ards-arts-centre-welcomes-new-exhibitions-in-september\/\">Continued<\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23206"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23206"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23208,"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23206\/revisions\/23208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whatsonni.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
