"Queer Community & Belonging In Belfast" Opening Night

We are delighted to host Queer Belfast at Happy Days Arts, in collaboration with the NI Mental Health Arts Festival.

At Happy Days Arts, we are passionate about creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where creativity brings people together.  

Queer Belfast brings together a curated inter-disciplinary visual art exhibition of works by queer artists, living and working in and around Belfast, exploring the theme of 'Queer Community and Belonging in Belfast'. This community exhibition aims to represent a range of experiences from members of Belfast's diverse LGBTQIA+ community through visual art, exploring how community and belonging can impact and improve the mental health of queer individuals.

You are invited to join us for our opening night on 8th May 7-9pm, light refreshments will be provided. To close the exhibition there will be an open viewing and community zine making workshop on 15th May 11-12.30pm. The studio will stay open for viewings until 2pm that day.
