SP8 of the Art, Northern Ireland is launched this week! Oliver and Francoise will be meeting Lousie McLean and her team in Belfast on Tuesday 16th for the 2 day opening tour. Visits to Macosquin Primary School and Carnalridge Primary School in Portrush, Northern Ireland's newest state of the art school, have been organised by Louise.

This stay is being sponsored by the Best Western Magherbuoy House Hotel by way of helping the Foundation. The proprietor will extend this to any SP8 related visit - which is very generous of them. They have also decided to create a 'Culinary Arts' side of embracing art.

Oliver and Francoise will have the opportunity to meet the press, the schools and most importantly the children when opening a private viewing of a collection of 185 canvases that the children of Macosquin Primary School have painted. SP8 Certificates will be presented to the children.

Francoise and Oliver will also attempt to bake Irish soda bread whilst at the hotel. Don't rush to buy Oliver's version!

What an incrediable presentation Louise and her team have achieved!

More news to follow. So much current activity to report later!!
