The aim is to develop new networks and knowledge beyond our own locale and to reflect back on the layered contexts in which we all work. Belfast is an active cultural city with a dynamic art college and innovative grass routes artistic culture. We will meet the curators and artists involved with galleries such as Golden Thread, Belfast Exposed and Third Space. Ulster Museum, newly re-opened and winner of the Art Fund’s £100,000 Museum’s Award will be one of the highlights of the visit.

The Belfast based curatorial team, Brown & Brí (Rachel Brown and Brighdin Farren) have advised on the programme and will organise a special dinner on the evening of the 15 September.

A day and a half: Attending the first day only would also be useful for members who can’t spare longer.

Cost for non-members: £50
