Get creative at Latharna Creative Exposition on Saturday 14thMay! - written by Lauren Dawson, Latharna Creative Collective
Over 30 artists, musicians, writers and performers are getting ready to showcase their talent at an exciting new event taking place in Larne Market Yard on Saturday 14th May, 11am-4pm.
The Latharna Creative Collective is a new professional arts group which hopes to showcase the multiple talents that exists within the Larne area!
The new group of artists covers all art mediums (visual, applied, performance, design, photography and literature) and they all hail from the Larne area including Carnlough, Glenarm, Islandmagee and Ballycarry.
Visitors on the day will be treated to an exciting, interactive creative atmosphere, including a chance to meet the artists, purchase artworks, and participate in art demonstrations and workshops.
Visitors will be kept entertained as there will be live performances from local musicians including Larne Music Yard, guitarist and singer/songwriter Matthew Malcolm, and new group The Woodburn (who will be making their live debut at the event!). Local authors will also provide short readings from their books to introduce their work.
And make sure to head over to the event early, as local performing arts group Uplift will open the event at 11am with a flash mob of dance to set the upbeat mood for the day.
There will be fun for all the family with children’s art activities from CampArt and street theatre to add to the atmosphere, as well as readings by children's authors Luan Ingram, and Hilary Bailey who will be joined by her four legged friend and star of her books, Skye!
Participating artists include; Geraldine Connon, Jon Lashford, Miguel Neves, Sasha McVey, Trisha Campbell, Laura Butler, Ann Caldwell, Audrey Kyle, Louis Humphrey, Rosalind Topping, Amanda McAfee, Juliane Keane, Philip Malcolm, Helen Burgess, Ruftyroohah, Vincent Taggart, Larne Art Club and Larne Grammar School.
