A CARING shop owner has given artists with learning disabilities a platform to display their work in her gallery.
Lisa Keogh who owns Original Artists in Kempock Street, offered Project Ability space in the gallery at the back of her shop.

Exhibition co-ordinator Heather Lander said: "We are a support studio and gallery based in Glasgow for people with learning disabilities, autism and lived experience. I think this is a brilliant gallery space and it is giving artists the exposure outside Glasgow."

Lisa said: "I just know the quality of the work and it is a real source of inspiration. We have paintings, prints and ceramics."
Group member Simon McAuley, 58, said: "I am thrilled to see my work on display in this lovely seaside town.
"We hope to reach a new audience and create an interest in what we do."
The exhibition runs until October.
