Picture that…
Monday, Apr 19th, 2010 - by Michael McKeegan
Just a bit of a heads-up if you're around the Holywood(NI of course, note the one 'L') area in the next couple of weeks. Carrie Davenport has a photo exhibition on at Alternative Ink on the High Street and it's well worth a look. Headed down to the opening last night and it was great to see all her work blown-up and framed properly.
There was a great mix of artists up on the walls, from local heroes right through to the AC/DC's of the world and even a rather striking shot of us from the Alternative Ulster photo shoot we did last year. Twas a good night, chatted with a few folk and enjoyed the hospitality before heading home.
BTW:Alternative Ink is a tattoo studio so if you're feeling fruity you can get inked while you're there ;)
