Art lovers flock to Dunluce as exhibition raises £3,350 for Bishops’ Appeal

Hundreds of art-lovers have enjoyed their visit to Dunluce Parish Art & Photography Exhibition in recent weeks.  The annual Bushmills event was as popular as ever, with locals and visitors alike appreciating the talents of artists and photographers from across Northern Ireland.

Organisers were delighted with the quality and range of works on display and thanked the creative community for making the exhibition such a success – an impressive 39 works by 31 artists were sold over the course of the weekend.  They thanked the members of the public who attended the event, bought artworks, raffle tickets and refreshments and gave so generously to the nominated charity.

All proceeds after expenses go to charity and this year £3,350 (equivalent to €4,000) was raised for Bishops’ Appeal, which is currently supporting the work of Christian Aid on the ground in Myanmar after the disastrous earthquake there.

With thanks to Karen Bushby for report and David Johnston for photos.  A full gallery is available on the Diocese of Connor’s website here: https://connor.anglican.org/2025/05/22/art-lovers-flock-to-dunluce-as-exhibition-raises-3350-for-bishops-appeal
