interests within the Shed.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Speaking at the opening, the Community Education Facilitator Gillian Cunningham said the exhibition reflects what the Men\u2019s Shed is all about connection, confidence-building and learning together in a welcoming space.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"x_elementToProof\">The art course was delivered by tutor Billy Dollard, whose supportive approach helped participants engage fully with painting and express their creativity.\u00a0<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Thanks were also extended to Mountmellick Arts Centre\u00a0for\u00a0hosting the exhibition.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"x_elementToProof\">The exhibition offers the public an opportunity to view the
