Belfast-based artist, Bronagh Lawson, injected a dose of culture into the city when she launched her new exhibition "On the Edge" on 17 September 2009 at the City East Business Centre in Belfast.
The exhibition, which takes place "on the edge" of the East Belfast peace line, showcases the talents of seven local artists who have captured Belfast in 2009 with an eclectic mix of paintings, installation, drawing, video and photography.
Bronagh is currently the Artist-in-Residence at the City East Business Centre and this is the first project that she has curated during her residency at the centre. She feels that the location of the exhibition is paramount to the underlying message of her work:
"Ive always felt a pull towards interface areas and, having spent thirteen years working on social development projects within these areas and seeing what some of these people have gone through, I wanted to share my experiences artistically.
"This exhibition encourages people from all communities within Northern Ireland to come together through art and to embrace diversity."
"On the Edge" will be exhibiting at the City East Business Centre until 31 October 2009. To arrange a private viewing, please phone Bronagh on +44 (0)79 847 847 35. Groups are welcome too! Visit also www.BronaghLawson.com
