Making Arts and Creativity Irresistible in East Belfast
OUR VISION
EastSide Arts is proud to be part of
the EastSide Partnership,
a regeneration charity that has been delivering a range of projects that ‘make
east Belfast a better place’ for more than 25
years.
At EastSide Arts we have a
vision of east Belfast as a thriving cultural hub; where the arts are valued,
creativity is for everyone and people are connected with each other and the
wider world. We strive to
ensure that artists are supported to work in east Belfast, that there are
increased diverse opportunities for people to be creative on their own terms,
and that more places in east Belfast are animated with creative activities.
EASTSIDE Arts Festival
The EastSide Arts Festival takes place across east Belfast every July/August. The festival provides a platform for local artists, entertainers, and performers to shine, whilst bringing people together to enjoy the best of the east. Residents and visitors have the opportunity to experience thought-provoking theatre and literature, revel in unforgettable music and cabaret, and uncover the hidden gems and historical landmarks that make up east Belfast's rich heritage.
Creative engagement
EastSide Arts is committed to developing arts and creativity in east Belfast by providing local and accessible opportunities for everyone and supporting local and emerging artists. We offer an exciting year-round programme which we are always striving to make more inclusive for a wider range of people and are available for advice and support with creative projects.
Get Involved
Our dedicated volunteers are vital members of our team, year-round, and the face of our annual EastSide Arts Festival. With roles in front of house, workshop assistance, project support, ushering, ticketing and generally offering a warm welcome, volunteering with EastSide Arts is a varied and rewarding role for people from all walks of life.
