A portrait of the late Bellaghy born Nobel Laureate, Seamus Heaney is to get a new home.
The artwork by Jeffrey Morgan will be on display at HomePlace.
The portrait is on a long-term loan from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
It features Heaney in his Dublin study.
It's framed using wood from a 200-year-old walnut tree that fell in Jeffrey Morgan's garden during a storm.
The salvaged wood was much admired by Heaney in a visit to the Welsh artist's home.
Councillor Trevor Wilson, chair of the Mid-Ulster District Council responsible for the HomePlace centre, says the painting will be a welcome addition to the exhibition.
“We are both pleased and privileged to be giving the portrait a new home, thanks to the generosity of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the artist, Jeffrey Morgan,” he said.
