Creative Peninsula August 2026 – Artist in Residence – Ross Miley
Creative Peninsula, now in its 25th year, is a thriving annual festival of creativity taking place in the picturesque Borough of Ards and North Down. The region is well known for its many artists and makers and during Creative Peninsula visitors can view their work, purchase or commission a unique piece or art or try their hand in a workshop.
Why not join us for this celebration of creativity as part of August Craft Month!
Artist in Residence: Artist in Residence: Ross Miley
30 July - 22 Aug
The Sunburst Gallery
Join us in the Sunburst Gallery throughout August to visit Ross Miley at work!
The gallery will be transformed into a temporary working studio where you can watch Ross create work and learn more about his processes and inspirations.
Following a hugely successful solo exhibition in June, Ross will use his time to develop a body of experimental work on paper that explores ideas around light, colour and atmosphere.
Ross welcomes the opportunity to share that process, talk to visitors about the work and give an insight into how his ideas evolve through experimentation, revision and reflection. This residency presents the artist with a chance to take risks, try different approaches and learn from the process.
