Artist Paints Bright Picture For Ardrossan Businesses

Around 50 businesses attended an event in Ardrossan on 2 December to hear of the opportunities the work of Irvine Bay Regeneration Company is opening up.

In particular, the meeting heard from artist Joe McLaughlin, who talked about his new gallery Phoenix Art, which he’s opened in the refurbished formed Jack Miller hotel.

He told the meeting he was attracted to Ardrossan because of the “fabulous” building with big windows, lots of natural light in an amazing location by the sea. He also said he saw Ardrossan as an up and coming area with all of the other projects going on all around.
