Take Part in Community Art Projects
It’s Time for Arts for All in Belfast!
We are based in Cityside Retail Park in North Belfast, delivering opportunities for fun arts activities within the community.
We know that arts workshops can be expensive and difficult to access for participants – that’s why we make sure all our projects are accessible! With free or low-cost options provided (plus paid contracts for our creative facilitators), we’re proud to support creatives and the community.
Let’s Participate in Art !
‘I am Inspired’
Project
Since 2017, the ‘I am Inspired’ initiative has been steadfast in delivering enriching creative workshops for adults with learning difficulties within the Belfast Trust region. Week by week, we’ve witnessed a remarkable boost in the self-assurance of our participants, as they engage with various artistic mediums such as painting, drawing, collage, and sculpting. This endeavour is supported by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and encompasses three distinct courses hosted at the Arts for All site: ‘Introduction to Art’, ‘Mixed Expressions’, and ‘Art in Motion’.
Get in touch with our team to sign up.
INSPIRE +
The Inspire+ programme is breaking down the barriers for adults with learning disabilities by unlocking potential educational and employment opportunities.
We have added to this portfolio by offering visual art workshops to our participants at the Belfast School of Art and exposing the participants to student life. These participants will become students at UU and will work towards gaining entry to the Foundation degree course in September 2026. This is a major step up for the world of learning difficulties and making art accessible for everyone.
We are proud to partner up with Belfast School of Art to provide
this service.
