Titanic Art Show - Belfast

A special solo Irish art exhibition from Bangor painter Jim McDonald opens tonight thursday 17th of April 5am-9pm at the SqSpace Gallery (http://www.SqSpace.com) 34 Shaftesbury Square, Belfast. McDonald has represented life in Belfast in a poignant way, focusing on street children, pub scenes and the camaraderie in the city's shipyards from the bygone era. A set of commemorative Royal Mail stamps showing McDonald's paintings of the Titanic and the Nomadic will also go on sale coinciding with the exhibition. The first-class stamps will be marking the 96th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and will be the first in a series being rolled out every year until 2012, the centenary of the cruiser's tragic voyage. The exhibition will run until the 1st of May. Irish Art
