Shore Collective is an artist-led initiative based at the heart of Northern Ireland, close to the waters of Lough Neagh. It was founded by a group of creative people, bringing together artists from across a variety of mediums.
The Shore Collective artists have been inspired by the beauty of the Fermanagh Lakelands. Fermanagh is world-renowned for its loughs, rivers, caves and wetlands. “Source to Settlement” is a visual journey of discovery across the Lakelands. The exhibition creatively explores the waterways as a life-source for people and nature. It showcases the history and folklore of the Fermanagh Lakelands as a source of inspiration for artists, poets, as well generations to come.
