For a more contemporary vibe, check out Duncairn Arts Centre , which is live streaming a curated series over Facebook and YouTube featuring some of Northern Ireland’s finest musicians.
Belfast’s visual galleries are online too, with the ArtisAnn Gallery exhibiting all of its artists’ works digitally, including a new showing from one of the city’s most artistic couples, Sophie Aghajanian and James Allen.
Belfast Exposed, a stunning photography gallery, has also launched a must-see range of digital materials to bring their excellent exhibitions and more to your home. Content includes writings, images, video pieces and audio recordings to encourage creativity and critical thinking, and to expand your ability and understanding of photography.
You can also join the Golden Thread Gallery for weekly sessions on Zoom, which include reading and discussions on visual art and Q&As with curators. These online events will be perfect for those who have an interest in, or work in, visual arts.
And if #StayHome is leaving you with the time and the inclination to learn a new artistic skill, hook up with the city’s Crescent Arts Centre, where there is a wonderful line-up of interactive online classes available.
From felt making to ballet, writing and violin lessons, there’s plenty to choose from. So take a look and keep creative, keep engaged and stay connected with buzzing Belfast.
