Exhibition: Member Mel Bradley Artwork – Louth Craftmark Group Exhibition – Armagh, UK

Louth Craftmark is a group of makers and visual artists based in the North East of Ireland.

They currently have three exhibitions of ‘Reveal Conceal’ which span across three venues,

  • The Leitrim Design House, Carrick-on-Shannon, from 24th May to 6th July,
  • The Marketplace Theatre & Arts Centre, Armagh, 16th May – 5th July, and
  • The Cowshed Gallery, Farmleigh, 15th July to 15th August 2025.

While the artists’ pieces are not identical across all three venues, they are from the same collections of work in response to the theme of this show. The artists have come together across a range of disciplines to create a new body of work that explores the ‘inside out of things’.

Feltmakers Ireland member Mel Bradley‘s work is included at The Marketplace Theatre & Arts Centre.

Where: The Market Place Theatre & Arts Centre, Armagh, UK.

When: until the 5th of July.
