Omagh Printmakers showcase work in new exhibition at Strule Arts Centre

A new group exhibition at Strule Arts Centre, ‘Print & Process’, explores the rich and versatile work of the Omagh Printmakers.

The exhibition opened on Thursday 5 November and runs until Saturday 28 November. An Artist Talk by members of Omagh Printmakers will take place at 11am on Tuesday 10 November.

Omagh Printmakers is a collective of artists dedicated to exploring the rich and versatile medium of print.

Established in 2019, the group provides opportunities for members to develop skills, share knowledge and exhibit work across a range of printmaking techniques, including etching, linocut, collagraph and Japanese woodblock print.

This exhibition brings together a selection of work from across the group, alongside examples and explanations of the processes involved.

It highlights the breadth of approaches within the collective and reflects the importance of printmaking as a continuing area of creative practice within the local arts community.

Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Debbie Coyle, said:

“This exhibition showcases the incredible work of Omagh Printmakers, who are committed to sharing and developing a range of printmaking techniques, now on display for all to enjoy.

“The success of the group also highlights the power of art and craft in bringing people together to share ideas, develop knowledge and ultimately create artwork that can both delight and inspire.

“It also demonstrates the important role of venues such as Strule Arts Centre in supporting artists, encouraging creativity and giving communities the chance to experience and connect with the arts.”
