Strule Arts Centre is delighted to present the Texaco Children’s Art Competition Exhibition, opening on Thursday 29th January.

Discover the extraordinary creativity of young artists at Strule Arts Centre

Strule Arts Centre is set to burst with colour, imagination and fresh perspective as it opens the Texaco Children’s Art Competition Exhibition, showcasing some of the most exciting young artistic talent on the island.

This vibrant exhibition brings together 42 standout artworks from the past two years of the Texaco Children’s Art Competition, including a remarkable selection by young artists from Ulster. From bold senior works to joyful pieces by the competition’s youngest entrants, the exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into how children and young people see the world — honest, imaginative and often breathtaking.

Visitors can experience award-winning works such as ‘Anticipation’ by overall 2024 winner Charley Bell from Methodist College Belfast, alongside powerful and expressive pieces like ‘L’Ombre’ by Zara Craig, a prize-winner in the category for artists with additional needs. The exhibition also celebrates talent from across the region, including Donegal and Cavan, with artworks that explore themes of family, movement, identity and change.

Whether you’re an art lover, a parent, an educator, or simply looking for something inspiring to do in Omagh, this exhibition is a chance to see the future of Irish art taking shape, and it’s guaranteed to leave you smiling.

The exhibition runs until Saturday 28 February, 9.30am – 5pm, Monday – Saturday. Admission is free.
