We invite you to take a look behind the studio doors of some of Belfast’s brightest emerging and established artists. Visitors are free to explore the studios independently or join a guided tour to hear a select number of artists talk about their processes and influences (held at 12:30, 14:00 and 15:30 – advance booking is advised). Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

Attending our open studios event will also provide an ideal opportunity to view ‘We are QSS at 40’, a large scale exhibition of over sixty artist’s works curated by Eamonn Maxwell. Whilst the majority of the exhibiting artists are current studio holders (including Susan Connolly, Amanda Coogan, Joy Gerrard, Sharon Kelly, Mark McGreevy and Jennifer Trouton), works by a number of past members from across the last four decades have also been included.

We do hope you can join us and get to know the very talented artists in your community!
