🎨 The doors open this morning at Brownlow Courtyard for Art of Healing, a deeply personal exhibition by artist Gladys Fletcher.

The paintings are in place, the easels are ready, and we look forward to welcoming visitors to experience this powerful and moving collection.

Each piece tells part of Gladys’ story, reflecting memories of her childhood, the Northern Ireland Troubles, the Loyal Orders and familiar Belfast landmarks. Together, the artworks demonstrate how creativity can help express pain, preserve history and support the journey towards healing.

🎨 Preparations are well underway at Brownlow Courtyard for the opening of Art of Healing this Saturday morning.

Today, artist Gladys Fletcher has been busy arranging her deeply personal collection, with easels going into place and each painting carefully positioned ahead of the exhibition.

Every piece tells part of Gladys’ story—reflecting memories of her childhood, the Northern Ireland Troubles, the Loyal Orders and familiar Belfast landmarks. Together, the artworks demonstrate how creativity can help express pain, preserve history and support the journey towards healing.

We look forward to welcoming visitors from Saturday to experience this powerful and moving exhibition.
