New Belfast Community Arts Initiative provides artist-led, socially inclusive arts activity, serving the community and the most socially and economically marginalised in this city and beyond. As a community arts organisation, New Belfast relies on community umbrella organisations and local, shared interest community arts groups for governance and strategic vision, to best facilitate communities and individuals to recognise and develop their own creative abilities. Collective art-making, within and between communities, is a way for this city to begin new conversations about how we live today and how we share our future together.
Through a nominations process, community groups representing all ages and abilities, sexualities and cultures are offered professionally facilitated projects of arts activity. If you represent a community group and wish to be included in our nominations process, please e-mail us.
We can also design specific arts programmes, tailored to your needs and budgets.
Our close working relationship with professional local artists has allowed us to deliver exciting & creative workshops in the areas of:
- Public sculpture
- Eco-conscious fashion design
- Community murals
- Poetry & creative writing
- Drama and carnival arts
- Multimedia
If you are an artist looking to develop your community practice or someone who wants to volunteer their time and skills, please get in touch.
If you have something you wish to post on our web site, like a meeting an event or an opportunity, please email us and we can present it in our arts community or news and events section.
