Ian Coulson exhibition in Strand Street

Monday, 6 December 2021 08:39

An art exhibition featuring watercolour paintings of the streets of Douglas is on display in Strand Street.

'Douglas in Passing' showcases the works of Ian Coulson, including paintings of the old buildings, secret lanes and hidden crannies of the Island's capital.

The exhibit, supported by IOM Arts Council and Culture Vannin, is in the old Top Shop building and entry is free, with all the paintings being offered for sale.

Ian says he never thought he would ever have such a magnificent gallery space to show just a single project - and that he would be able to fill it entirely.
