Galleries
Belfast artists
have attracted international renown for centuries. Sir John Lavery,
friend of royalty and rebel alike, was the celebrity artist of his
day, while William Conor and Paul Henry changed the way the world
looked at Ireland. Today, internationally acclaimed artists such as
Rita Duffy, Basil Blackshaw, Paddy Bloomer, David Crone, T.P.
Flanagan, the McWilliams family, Neil Shawcross and Carol Graham
keep the flame alight.
The Lisburn Road, in the
Queen’s Quarter, otherwise renowned for chic shops, cafés and bars,
is the undisputed home of Belfast’s private art gallery scene. The
city centre features the Arts Council of Northern Ireland flagship
gallery, the Ormeau Baths Gallery. Situated in the former Victorian
swimming baths, OBG is one of the foremost exhibition spaces for
contemporary visual arts in Northern Ireland. Last but certainly
not least the artistic Cathedral Quarter is the hub for a
whole plethora of creative spaces.
There’s no better way to discover the complex nature of a city’s
character than to explore its artistic life, and when it comes to
the visual arts Belfast is blossoming with over fifty public and
private galleries. The Belfast Art Guide, available free from the
Belfast Welcome Centre, will give you a comprehensive account of
what is on offer.
