Strule Arts Centre says it’s delighted to announce the opening of ‘Connection’, a solo exhibition by Buncrana-based artist Veronica Buchanan, launched on Thursday, October 30.

The exhibition will run at the Strule Arts Centre, Omagh for the next four weeks, until November 29 next.

In ‘Connection’, Veronica explores themes of personal experience, relationships, memory, and reflection – concepts that evoke emotional responses and invite viewers to engage on a deeply human level.

The exhibition presents a compelling collection of both earlier and recent works, showcasing a variety of media including drawing, painting, ceramics, and textiles.

Veronica’s multidisciplinary approach stems from a strong foundation in drawing. Speaking about the exhibition, she says: “The pieces are a collection which has no beginning nor end – just part of a journey, with a common thread.”

Through her work, Veronica invites audiences to contemplate the ties that bind people, places, and moments, forming a visual narrative that is both personal and universal.

Cllr Barry McElduff, Chairperson of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council said: “We are proud to welcome Veronica Buchanan to Strule Arts Centre for her solo exhibition Connection. Her work offers a deeply personal yet universally resonant exploration of memory, relationships, and reflection. This exhibition invites us all to pause and connect with the stories that shape our lives; I would really encourage everyone to visit.”

Connection runs until Saturday 29 November, and is open Monday to Saturday, 9.30am–5pm. Admission is free.
