Behind The Studio Door – QSS & Creative Exchange

Saturday 25 October, 12pm and 3pm. Book here.

Step inside the city’s creative engine rooms as over 65 artists open their doors across Creative Exchange & QSS Studios & Gallery.

Roam at your own pace or join a guided tour for conversations with artists working across sculpture, ceramics, textiles, painting and more. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

Founded in 1996, Creative Exchange Artist Studios is home to a collective of artists working across ceramics, sculpture, textiles, and painting, all in an atmosphere that nurtures creative exchange and experimentation.

QSS Studios & Gallery provide affordable, high-quality studios for professional visual artists at all career stages and host a year-round programme of exhibitions and events.

Both studios are vital to East Belfast’s cultural landscape. It’s a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how contemporary art is shaped, shared, and quietly sustained in this corner of the city.

This event is part of Belfast International Arts Festival.
