Coleraine welcomes artists, photographers and art lovers from across the region and beyond for the annual Coleraine Art & Photography Show. Held in the heart of this welcoming community, the event is a highlight on the Southern Grampians cultural calendar - celebrating the outstanding creative talent and diverse perspectives that shape our region.

The show features a wide range of works, from evocative landscape photography capturing the beauty of the local countryside to vibrant paintings, drawings and mixed media pieces. Both professional and emerging artists are encouraged to exhibit, making the show a dynamic display of established vision and fresh inspiration. Carefully curated categories provide opportunities for artists of all ages, including dedicated youth and student sections, ensuring that everyone has a chance to shine.

Visitors to the show can expect to experience the full spectrum of artistic expression - from traditional techniques to contemporary themes. Many of the works are available for purchase, offering collectors and art enthusiasts a unique opportunity to take home something truly special. Judges are selected for their knowledge and passion, providing thoughtful commentary and recognised exceptional achievement with a range of awards and prizes.

Beyond the gallery walls, the event brings together community members and visitors for shared conversation, creativity and connection. The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere invites everyone to linger, chat with artists and enjoy light refreshments. Entry fees and artwork sales also support local initiatives, reinforcing the show's role in strengthening Coleraine's cultural life and community spirit.
