FUNDING PARTNERS
THE DUNCAIRN CENTRE FOR CULTURE & ARTS
“A vision without resources will remain only a dream. Our various funders are to be congratulated for their willingness in helping make our vision become a marvellous reality and thanked for their generosity and enthusiasm.” Rev Bill Shaw OBE
Located on Duncairn Avenue/Antrim Road, the Duncairn Centre for Culture & Arts is North Belfast’s first purpose-built arts and culture “shared space” venue. The new £3.5 million complex will provide a world-class facility consisting of 3 art studios, exhibition area, community meeting room, 170 seater theatre/performance area, café/bistro and conference rooms. The Duncairn will provide a platform for local and international artists to showcase their work as well as give the local community access to arts and culture programmes of the highest quality. Over the coming years Duncairn will host music concerts, dramas, music, dance, arts & craft workshops/masterclasses. Duncairn Centre for Culture & Arts will be a hub of creativity and a centre of excellence for the traditional arts of all of our communities.
