SUMMARY:'Paper Magic' exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Belfast Paper Art Society’s exhibition ‘Paper Magic’ opens at Millennium Court  on Saturday\, September 14th\, 2 – 4pm. This exciting event will showcase the vibrant and diverse world of paper art\, featuring an array of Papier Mache sculptures\, intricate collages\, and large-scale mixed media pieces\, that are sure to captivate visitors of all ages! \nThe exhibition celebrates the versatility and creativity of paper as a medium.
