An example of John's art.
Roe Valley Arts Centre is delighted to present ‘Big Doodles and Wee Doodles’, a vibrant new exhibition by renowned artist John McMacken.
The energetic and colourful lyrical abstracts on display perfectly capture the artist’s boundless creativity and imagination, with the exhibition showcasing a striking collection of oil paintings, charcoal, and pen drawings.
To accompany the exhibition, John McMacken will also host a special ‘Doodle Party’ workshop for young artists aged 7-11 years on Saturday, April 5, from 11am to 12.30pm.
This playful and engaging session encourages children to unleash their imagination through doodling, exploring art in a fun and interactive way.
John McMacken, who lived in Limavady for 25 years before studying Fine Art at Ulster University, has exhibited his work across Ireland. His expressive and dynamic pieces invite viewers to explore a world of movement, colour, and spontaneity.
The exhibition launches on Thursday, April 3 at 7pm, offering a fantastic opportunity to meet the artist and experience his work firsthand. The event is free, and all are welcome to attend.
For more information or to book a place at the workshop, visit Roe Valley Arts or call us on 028 7776 0650.
