EastSide Arts, supported by Arts Council of Northern Ireland, is delighted to announce Christina Collins as the winner of the inaugural C.S. Lewis Writer’s Bursary.
The bursary, which celebrates the legacy of C.S. Lewis, will provide Christina with an opportunity to develop a new piece of written work. Christina, who has Irish/Armenian heritage, immigrated to NI from America in 2015. She will use the bursary as an opportunity to work on a new young-adult novel, partly inspired by her own experience of emigrating to Northern Ireland.
NEW VOICES
C.S. Lewis Writer’s Bursary Award 2021
EastSide Arts, supported by Arts Council of Northern Ireland, is delighted to invite applications for a new bursary award celebrating the legacy of C.S. Lewis.
Using C.S. Lewis as our inspiration, we ask, what is it like to arrive here in Northern Ireland from somewhere else? Where are the footholds and the touch-points to connect with Northern Ireland? What is it like call NI home if you have joint heritage?
Bring a Little Light to East Belfast this December
In normal times every December, organisations in East Belfast get together for the annual Lantern Parade, complete with Santa and all the bells and whistles. This year, things are looking different for a lot of people and we're all wondering what December will look like. Whilst things are a little strange, we're determined not to lose out on events that bring us together and give us joy, so we’re launching Bring A Little Light.
Culture Night Belfast is vibrant, inclusive and essential part of the city’s events programme and we are really delighted to be part of the event this year with the opportunity to showcase some of the work we created for our EastSide Arts Festival in August. We hope you enjoy them!
