This weekend is the European Built Heritage Day and Mak9 will be in the Deanery with the Holywell trust offering a chance to look round the basement, meet some of the artists and get a sneak peak at the upcoming exhibition “Draw On the Walls”.

MAK9 are developing an exciting arts and architectural partnership project with Holywell Trust and owners of built heritage landmarks within the city of Derry that will result in a feature exhibition opening in late September.

Join MAK9 and artists on the ‘MAK9: An Exhibition in the Making’ event, on the 14^thSeptember during the Built Heritage weekend.  Get a sneak preview of artists installing artworks in preparation of the Draw On The Walls exhibition.
