THURSDAY 31st JULY

Boom HQ @ 80A Main St, Bangor, BT20 5AE, and Boom 2 across the street at 51 Main St and Bingham Mall.

Mark your calendars for your monthly fix of art & culture in Bangor!

LNAB events are train-friendly, running between 6-9pm, with the hope that you will visit multiple venues and soak up all the arts sector has to offer. Which in Bangor, is a lot!

What’s on at Boom?

First floor studios (at time of writing)

Open Studios - wander round and see who’s in! We’re expecting Les and Oonagh - so you’ll need to go to the faaaar left and faaaaar right of the corridors - please don’t be shy!

Top floor workshop - Drop in workshop

Graham from Waveform Digital Media will be introducing you to the wonderful world of VR art. We don’t know what that means so we’ll be just as curious as you to find out how it works!

You can contact the artists via their studio pages here if you would like to enquire about work.

Top floor gallery

We are excited to introduce Les Sharpe’s collection “Scratching the Surface”

This small collection has been assembled from works created over quite a few years of playing, developing and just trying things to see what happens.

They are experimental pieces exploring the creative effects that can be achieved using a wide variety of materials and media. The actual materials are often unusual and the combinations are far from traditional.

While some of the effects might be used to enhance the idea of something representational or figurative, others are purely created for their aesthetic qualities and the sheer enjoyment of the process.

For the most part, they are all about the joy of colour and texture and the pleasure in creating them.
