Two major art sculptures, which are part of environmental improvement works, have been unveiled in Lurgan and Portadown town centres.
The Department for Social Development has provided part funding of £322,000 for the sculptures aim to enhance the physical appearance of the town centres.
Speaking during a visit to view the completed sculptures, Minister McCausland said: "These newly installed art sculptures reflect the rich history and tradition of these attractive market towns. They are the first of their kind in both towns and provide a unique visual landmark within the town centres.
"The sculptures complement the recently completed public realm schemes in both towns and the combined works will contribute to the vibrancy in the heart of the town centres, fundamentally making them more appealing to residents, businesses and tourists."
The Lurgan sculpture is on the former YMCA site in Market Street, while the Portadown Sculpture is in the green space between West Street and the Northway.
