Since opening its doors in 2014, nearly 260000 people have visited the Duncairn Centre for Culture and Arts. Not only has the centre been huge boost for the arts in north Belfast, but it has also greatly contributed to the regeneration of the area. The new £3.5million Arts Centre is north Belfast’s first and only dedicated arts centre and provides a world class facility consisting of 3 art studio/
office spaces, an exhibition area, a community meeting room, a 190 seater theatre/performance area, a café/bistro and conference rooms. The Duncairn runs an exciting and extensive arts programme for the community every year, and the complex is home to more than a dozen autonomous groups catering for around 800 people every week. Located in the heart of north Belfast, we create the opportunity for everyone in the community to have access to and engage with high quality arts and cultural programmes regardless of their social or cultural background. The Duncairn embraces a strong ethos of cross community inclusion to ensure that all sections of society feel welcome and valued while gaining the maximum benefits from involvement in creative community activity, arts, culture and heritage projects.
