QSS is delighted to be welcoming a selection of 2022 graduates from Belfast School of Art to exhibit in our gallery as part of Emergence VI.

Now in its sixth year our annual ‘Emergence’ exhibition provides a valuable and professional platform for recent graduates at a transitional stage in their career.

The work was selected from the Belfast School of Art Degree Show, June 2022 and we are thrilled to welcome the selected graduates into the gallery.

A panel of three QSS studio holders (Gerard Carson, Gerry Devlin and Sharon Kelly), QSS Membership & Development Officer (Cathy Scullion) and an independent curator (Francesca Biondi – Gallery 545) selected the participating artists. This year they are: Adam Skinner, Brea Freeburn, Darcy Patterson, Deborah Adair, Emma Stewart, Eva Perrott, Katie Ballentine, Louise Kennedy, Luke Foster, Melissa McKee, Miles Smith, Natalie Gibson, Reuben Brown, Rhys Murphy and Tomas Antunes

Collectively the selected works demonstrate the diverse range of media explored at the Belfast School of Art, from photography and painting through to sculpture, video, installation and printmaking.
