Latest - KAC Lockdown Virtual Exhibition June 2020
Like many others, members of Kilmood Art Club used their time in isolation and at home to pursue their art. KAC members agreed, in the absence of other outlets, to publish their artworks in a virtual exhibition. We hope you enjoy seeing the exhibits in our Gallery
The KAC Committee are working with members to plan an evolving programme for the remainder of the year to reflect our new normal "until we meet again".
